EN: pagoda
You know, that cool-looking tower you see in pictures of Japan, China, or Korea with the curly roof edges. It's a staple in travel vlogs and the background of many 'finding myself in Asia' profile pictures. Not to be confused with the feeling of being tired, though a long climb up one might make you feel that way.
From Portuguese 'pagode', from a Dravidian language, possibly via Persian. A loanword.
A specific architectural term. Not a native Tagalog word but is understood. Homonym with the slang term for 'tired'.
