FIL: Ang akto ng pagpapatama o pag-atake gamit ang kanyon o malalaking artilerya.
EN: cannonade, bombardment
Think of this as the original "unfriending" on a massive, historical scale. It's the act of firing cannons, a very loud way of saying "I don't like you." In modern terms, it's like getting hit with a barrage of angry comments in a Facebook thread.
From `pang-` + `kanyon`. The word `kanyon` is from Spanish `cañón` (cannon).
ROOT MEANING: cannon
