FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagtatagal o pag-antala sa paggawa ng isang bagay; pagiging matagal.
EN: Delay
This is the 'wait lang' that turns into 'wait forever.' It's the feeling you get when the loading bar is stuck at 99%, or when your friend says 'OTW' but is still clearly at home. It's the epitome of Filipino time, the art of making things take longer than they should.
From pag- (nominalizing prefix) + luwat (long time, delay).
More formal or literary than 'pagtatagal' or 'pagkaantala'. It implies a slowness or tardiness that causes delay.
