FIL: Isang bagay, halaman, o substansiya na nagdudulot ng kati o pangangati sa balat.
EN: irritant (that causes itchiness); allergen
Ito yung alikabok na biglang nagpa-bahing sa'yo, yung balahibo ng pusa na dumikit sa itim mong damit, o yung damo na dinaanan mo tapos biglang nangati binti mo. Pwede ring metaphor for a person na nakakairita, 'yung tipong 'skin-crawlingly' annoying.
From 'pang-' (instrumental prefix) + 'gatol' (itchiness).
ROOT MEANING: stammering, faltering (in speech)
Less common than 'pangangati' (the state of itching). 'Panggatol' refers specifically to the causative agent.
🇵🇭 May mga halaman sa gubat na nagsisilbing panggatol sa balat.
🇺🇸 There are plants in the forest that act as a skin irritant.
🇵🇭 Iwasan mo ang alikabok kung iyan ang iyong panggatol.
🇺🇸 Avoid dust if that is your allergen (that causes itchiness).
