FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagiging magkakahiwalay o pagkakahati-hati ng isang grupo o kabuuan.
EN: state of being separated or fragmented
This is the "breakup" of a group, not a couple. Think of your barkada after graduation, each going their own way. It's the ultimate "see you when I see you" moment, but for a group. Or when the group project members finally go their separate ways after submitting the paper, never to speak again. That's `pagkakahiwa-hiwalay`.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `kaka-` (manner/state) + `hiwalay` (separate), with reduplication (`hiwa-hiwalay`) for emphasis on fragmentation.
ROOT MEANING: separate; apart
The reduplication `hiwa-hiwalay` implies that the separation is into multiple, distinct parts or individuals, not just two.
