FIL: Ang unti-unting pagkawala ng gana o interes sa isang bagay o tao dahil sa pagkasawa, pagkadismaya, o pagkabigo.
EN: disillusionment, loss of interest, disenchantment
This is the "sawa" phase of a relationship or a job, but with a hint of sadness and disappointment. It's when the "kilig" is gone and all you see are the unwashed dishes. It's realizing your dream job is just another series of stressful Zoom meetings. It's the slow fade of excitement into a meh routine.
From pang- (nominalizing prefix) + reduplication of the first syllable of the root + sawa (fed up). The 's' often becomes 'h' in this formation.
ROOT MEANING: fed up, tired of, jaded
A deep and more formal word than 'pagkasawa' or 'pagsasawa'. It implies a process of becoming disenchanted.
