EN: state of being completely broken or dilapidated
This isn't just 'sira' (broken), this is 'sira na, sira pa'. It's the state of that one road in your barangay that's more potholes than pavement. It's your favorite t-shirt that's now full of holes but you can't let go. It implies a level of disrepair that's almost impressive in its thoroughness.
From `pagka-` (state of) + `sira-sira` (reduplication of 'sira' to indicate intensity or plurality of damage).
ROOT MEANING: broken; damaged; out of order
The repetition of 'sira' intensifies the meaning, indicating a widespread or severe state of disrepair. It suggests something is broken in multiple places or in a state of decay.
