EN: last; tail-end; bringing up the rear
This is the person who's always last in line, the caboose of the friend group, the student who submits their project right at the deadline. Also, the car that gets stuck at the tail-end of EDSA traffic. If there's a 'kulelat,' this is it.
From `pang-` (which becomes `pam-`) + `buntot` (tail).
Can function as an adjective ('pambuntot na kotse' - the last car) or a noun to refer to the one in the last position ('Siya ang pambuntot' - He is the last one).
🇵🇭 Lagi na lang ako ang pambuntot sa pila.
🇺🇸 I'm always the one at the end of the line.
🇵🇭 Ang pambuntot na kalahok ay nakahabol pa rin.
🇺🇸 The last participant was still able to catch up.
