FIL: Ang akto ng pag-aaruga, pag-aalaga, at pagbibigay proteksyon, lalo na sa isang mas mahina o nangangailangan.
EN: nurturing; care; protection
This is your lola's level of care. Not just 'take care,' but the full package: feeding you until you can't move, checking if you're cold, and giving you unsolicited but loving advice. It’s the ultimate TLC, Pinoy-style, often with a sense of protectiveness.
From the root 'kandili' (to care for, to protect), with the 'pagka-' prefix forming a noun that refers to the manner or quality of the action.
Carries a deeper, more protective connotation than 'pag-aalaga' (caring). It implies sheltering someone from harm.
