EN: induced abortion
A very serious and sensitive topic. This refers to the deliberate termination of a pregnancy. It's a subject of intense debate and is illegal in the Philippines, often discussed in whispers or in the context of health warnings and legal dramas.
From `pag-` + `pa-` + `laglag` (to fall, to drop). The `pa-` prefix indicates causation, hence 'to cause to drop/fall'.
ROOT MEANING: Fallen; dropped; failed
This term specifically refers to an induced abortion, not a natural miscarriage ('pagkalaglag' or 'nakunan'). It is a highly sensitive and often controversial term.
