EN: state of being broken; brokenness
That heart-stopping sound when a plate slips from your hand. It's the aftermath of a 'Lambing' session with your cat on a shelf full of figurines. Can also be used for a voice that's breaking from emotion, like when you're about to cry while explaining to your boss why you need a raise. 'Yung boses niya, may pagkabasag.'
From 'pagka-' (state/manner of) + 'basag' (broken).
ROOT MEANING: broken; cracked; shattered
Used for hard, brittle objects that shatter or break. Also used figuratively for a broken voice or a state of disunity.
