EN: Covetousness, greed
This is that feeling when you see your officemate's 13th-month pay bonus and you suddenly wish it was yours, or when your kapitbahay buys a new car and you start plotting how to 'accidentally' scratch it. It's the 'sana all' that has turned to the dark side. It's not just wanting what they have; it's wanting it *so bad* it consumes you.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `imbot` (covet). The repetition in `pag-iimbot` emphasizes the intensity or the act itself.
ROOT MEANING: greed, covetousness
Carries a strong negative and moral connotation, often related to the concept of envy and one of the seven deadly sins.
