EN: decorative, for decoration
Anything that's 'for display only.' It's the fancy plates in the 'platera' that you can't eat on, the throw pillows on the sofa you're not supposed to lean on, and the Christmas lights you put up in September. Basically, its only job is to look pretty and add ~aesthetic~. It's the 'pampaganda' for your house, your event, or your ube cake.
From `pang-` (for) + `dekorasyon` (decoration), from Spanish `decoración`.
ROOT MEANING: decoration; ornament
Can function as an adjective (bagay na pandekorasyon) or a noun (Ginamit ko ito bilang pandekorasyon). The `pang-` affix indicates purpose.
