FIL: Ang akto ng hindi pagbibigay o pagtanggi na ibigay ang isang bagay na hinihingi o nararapat.
EN: denial; withholding
This is the act of being "madamot" or selfish. It's when your friend asks for a piece of your chicharon and you say no. It's a company's `pagkakait` of a well-deserved promotion. On a deeper level, it can be the `pagkakait` of justice or rights. It’s the universe (or a person) telling you "access denied."
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `ka-` + `it` (from root `kait`, meaning 'to withhold, to deny').
Often has a negative connotation, implying that what is being withheld is deserved or needed.
