FIL: Isang salita, parirala, o pangungusap na ginagamit bilang taguri, bansag, o motto na naglalarawan sa katangian ng isang tao, lugar, o pangkat.
EN: epithet, slogan, motto
It's a brand tagline or a superhero's title. "The People's Champ" for Manny Pacquiao? That's a 'pamansag'. "It's More Fun in the Philippines"? 'Pamansag' din 'yan. It’s that catchy phrase that sticks, your personal or group's hashtag for life.
From `paN-` + `bansag`. `Bansag` means nickname or title. The prefix `paN-` (which becomes `pam-` before 'b') creates a noun for the means or instrument.
ROOT MEANING: nickname, alias, moniker
Often associated with branding, historical figures, or formal titles.
