FIL: Isang lalagyan kung saan kumakain ang mga hayop; isang lugar na itinalaga para sa pagkain.
EN: feeder, trough, mess hall
This is the designated dining area, whether it's the fancy trough for your alagang baboy, the bird feeder for your tita's feathered friends, or even the mess hall in a BPO where everyone rushes for the free lunch. It's the 'chow zone'.
From 'pa-' (causative) + 'kain' (eat) + '-an' (locative suffix). Literally, "a place for causing eating".
ROOT MEANING: act of eating; a meal
Often refers to animal feeders but can also be used for designated human eating areas, especially in institutional settings.
