FIL: Isang lugar o lupain na itinalaga para sa pagtatayo ng mga tirahan o bahay.
EN: residential area; housing lot
The "for sale" lot in that subdivision your tita is trying to sell you. It's not just a 'lote', it's a 'pamahayan' – a place designated for building a home and future marites sessions with the neighbors. It's the physical manifestation of the Filipino dream: a house and lot.
From `pa-` + `bahay` + `-an`, a locative affix indicating a place for something.
ROOT MEANING: house, home
More formal than 'lote' or 'subdivision'. It specifically refers to land intended for housing.
