FIL: Isang bagay na iniaalok o ginagawa upang hikayatin, himukin, o udyukan ang isang tao na kumilos o gumawa ng isang bagay.
EN: inducement, motivation, incentive
This is the 'why' behind the 'what.' It's the carrot dangled in front of you. Your company's 13th-month pay is a **paganyak** to stay until December. The freebie that comes with a product is a **paganyak** to buy it. The promise of your crush finally noticing you is a **paganyak** to go to the gym. It’s the ultimate 'what's in it for me?' answer.
From `pa-` + `ganyak` (persuade, entice).
Often used in the context of motivation, persuasion, and incentives. Less common than 'insentibo' in modern conversation.
