EN: wealth, richness, state of being rich
This is the ultimate goal of your side hustles, the reason you play the lottery, and why your tita in the States keeps sending balikbayan boxes. It's not just about having money, it's the *state* of being rich—the 'sana all' moment when someone posts their European vacation.
From "pagka-" (state of being) + "mayaman" (rich).
