EN: towel
Your trusty sidekick after a shower, a swim, or when you accidentally spill your milk tea. It's the thing you use to wipe away your tears after a sad K-drama episode or your sweat after climbing the MRT stairs.
From 'pa-' + 'punas' + '-an', meaning 'a tool for wiping'.
ROOT MEANING: wipe; act of wiping
Often used interchangeably with 'tuwalya' (from Spanish 'toalla'). 'Pamunasan' is more native-sounding but 'tuwalya' is more common in everyday speech.
