FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging banal, sagrado, o karapat-dapat sa sukdulang paggalang.
EN: sacredness; sanctity
This is the quality that makes something 'off-limits' for jokes or disrespect. It's the vibe of Quiapo Church during Nazareno, the silence during a wedding vow, or even just your lola's prized collection of antiques. It's the 'bawal hawakan, bawal pagtawanan' energy. The pagkasagrado of a thing demands reverence.
From Spanish 'sagrado' (sacred).
The prefix 'pagka-' turns the adjective 'sagrado' into a noun representing its quality or state.
🇵🇭 Dapat igalang ang pagkasagrado ng kasal.

🇵🇭 Pinaniniwalaan ng mga katutubo ang pagkasagrado ng bundok na iyon.
