FIL: Ang akto o proseso ng paglalagay sa isang tao sa bilangguan bilang parusa sa isang krimen.
EN: imprisonment
This is when someone gets sent to the 'big house' or 'Bilibid'. It's the ultimate 'grounded' status, but for adults who broke the law. Not just being sent to your room, but to a room with bars.
From Spanish 'bilanggo' (prisoner). The prefix 'pag-' and the reduplication 'bi-' turns the noun 'bilanggo' (prisoner) into the act of making someone a prisoner.
ROOT MEANING: prisoner; imprisoned
Refers to the act of imprisoning, not the state of being imprisoned (which is 'pagkabilanggo').
🇵🇭 Ang pagbibilanggo sa mga inosenteng tao ay isang malaking kawalan ng katarungan.
🇺🇸 The imprisonment of innocent people is a great injustice.
