/pang-HI-lot/
FIL: Anumang langis, pamahid, o gamit na ginagamit sa pagmamasahe o sa tradisyonal na paggamot ng pilay o sakit sa katawan.
EN: liniment
This refers to the oil, liniment, or even a special leaf used by a 'manghihilot' (traditional masseuse/healer). It's the stuff that makes the massage happen—think Efficascent Oil, Omega Pain Killer, or that secret herbal concoction your lola swears by. It's the fuel for the 'hilot' engine.
From pang- (instrumental prefix) + hilot (massage, traditional Filipino healing massage).
ROOT MEANING: traditional Filipino massage; traditional midwife
Refers to the substance or tool for the massage, not the person ('manghihilot') or the act ('paghilot').
