/pa-NAK-long/
FIL: Isang bantas ( ) na ginagamit upang ibukod ang isang salita, parirala, o pangungusap na hindi bahagi ng pangunahing diwa ngunit nagbibigay ng dagdag na impormasyon.
EN: parenthesis; bracket
`Panaklong` is the punctuation mark for all your "sana all" side comments and "by the way" thoughts. It's like whispering an aside in a conversation. You use it to add extra info, a funny thought, or a sarcastic remark (like this one) without derailing the main topic. It's the typographical equivalent of saying something under your breath.
From `pan-` + `saklong` (to enclose, to carry in one's arms).
ROOT MEANING: straddled; riding on the back of another
Refers to the symbols ( ). The term can also encompass other brackets like [ ] (square brackets) or { } (braces) in a general sense.
