EN: balancing, equilibrium
That struggle to get your work-life balance right. That's paninimbang. It's also the literal act of not falling over when you're walking on a narrow plank. Figuratively, it's what journalists are supposed to do: weigh both sides of a story. It's the art of not tipping over, literally or metaphorically.
From "timbang" (weight, balance). The prefix "paN-" causes the initial /t/ of the root to assimilate to /n/.
Can be used for both physical balance and metaphorical balance (e.g., of opinions, workload, emotions).
