EN: The act of leaving (behind)
Ah, the source of so much hugot. This is what your ex did to you. It's what you do to the last piece of pizza for your sibling (if you're nice). It's the 'ghosting' starter pack. `Pag-iiwan` can be as simple as leaving your keys on the table or as soul-crushing as being left for someone new.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `iwan` (to leave).
Often implies leaving something or someone behind, either intentionally or unintentionally. Can be emotionally charged.
