EN: death, passing away, demise
The formal, almost poetic way of saying someone has passed away. It's the word you use in eulogies and official announcements, not when you're casually talking with friends. Think of it as the opposite of 'na-dedo' or 'na-tegi'. It’s the 'logged out for the last time' of the mortal coil.
From `pag-` + `yao` (to go, to depart, to die).
A very formal and respectful term for death. Often found in literature, obituaries, and formal speeches.
