EN: fatherhood
It's more than just being a "daddy" or a sperm donor. It's the state of being that involves dad jokes, fixing everything with duct tape, and having a special budget for your kid's milk tea addiction. It's the transformation from "bro" to "paps."
From `pagka-` (state of being) + `ama` (father).
ROOT MEANING: father
The hyphen is often used to distinguish it from a potential but non-existent word "pagkaama". It emphasizes the role or state of being a father.
