/pag-ka-GUS-to/
FIL: Ang damdamin ng pagkaibig o pagkakaroon ng pagnanais sa isang tao, bagay, o gawain.
EN: liking; fondness; preference
That feeling when you see your crush across the room and suddenly, everything else fades away. It's the 'sana all' moment you have when you see someone's OOTD. It's the 'add to cart' impulse you can't resist. Basically, it's the start of it all, the spark before the 'kilig' or the 'budol'.
From Spanish 'gusto' (taste, pleasure). The 'pagka-' prefix turns it into a noun describing the state or manner of liking.
ROOT MEANING: to want; to like
Often used to express a nascent or developing romantic interest, but can also apply to things, food, or activities.
