FIL: Ang pagbabayad o pag-abono muna gamit ang sariling pera para sa isang gastusin ng iba, na may inaasahang bayad o reembolso sa hinaharap.
EN: advance payment; out-of-pocket payment
This is the official term for "abono". It’s when your boss asks you to buy office supplies and you use your own money first, expecting to be reimbursed later. "Paki-**paluwal** muna ng pambili ng kape, i-reimburse kita sa sahod." It's the foundation of many office expense reports and a test of trust.
From `pa-` (causative/request prefix) + `luwal` (out, outside). Literally "to cause to come out [of one's pocket]".
ROOT MEANING: born; out; external
Often used in the context of business expenses, errands, or group purchases. Synonymous with `abono`.
