EN: the act of having been stolen; theft
That feeling when you realize your lunch in the office fridge has been 'borrowed' permanently. This word focuses on the result or the manner of the theft—the fact that something is now gone because it was stolen. It's less about the ongoing action ('pagnanakaw') and more about the completed crime.
From the root 'nakaw' (to steal), with the 'pagka-' prefix indicating the result, manner, or cause of an action.
