EN: remoteness; the quality of being far
This is the feeling when you're in an LDR (Long-Distance Relationship) and you check Google Maps to see the distance between you and bae. It’s the "ang layo!" complaint when your Grab driver's pin is on the other side of EDSA during rush hour. It’s the very essence of provincial life for a city-dweller.
From `pagka-` (quality of being) + `malayo` (far).
ROOT MEANING: distance
The hyphen is sometimes used to emphasize the two parts of the word, but `pagkamalayo` is also common.
