FIL: Isang kondisyong medikal kung saan naninilaw ang balat, mga mata, at mucous membranes dahil sa mataas na antas ng bilirubin sa dugo.
EN: jaundice, yellowing of the skin
Literally 'yellowing of the skin.' This is what happens to newborns sometimes, or when someone has a liver problem. It's a medical symptom, not a fashion statement. Your body is basically turning into a human highlighter pen, and it's a sign you need to see a doctor ASAP.
From "paninilaw" (yellowing), which comes from "dilaw" (yellow), and the phrase "ng balat" (of the skin).
ROOT MEANING: yellow
A specific medical term.
