EN: Disdain; condescension; contempt
This is that 'judging you' look. The ultimate side-eye. It's when someone looks at you like you're something they scraped off their shoe. That feeling you get when a sosyal officemate sees you eating instant pancit canton for lunch. It’s more than just looking, it’s a whole statement of superiority packed into one dismissive glance.
From `pang-` + a variation of `mata` (eye), implying the use of one's eyes to look down on others.
ROOT MEANING: eye
