EN: indulgence; reveling in abundance
This is you at an 'eat-all-you-can' buffet, determined to get your money's worth. It's the act of indulging to your heart's content, living in luxury, or just enjoying something in excess. Think 'treating yourself' but on steroids. It's that feeling of abundance, like when you get your 13th-month pay and suddenly everything on Shopee seems affordable.
From pag- (gerund prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + pasasa (from pa- + sasa, 'to be satiated/sated'). The act of causing oneself to be satiated.
Can have a neutral tone (enjoying abundance) or a negative one (excessive, wasteful indulgence, often at others' expense).
