EN: protection; shield; protective gear
This is the upgraded version of 'pansangga'. It's not just for blocking one hit, it's for overall protection. Think face masks and face shields during the pandemic. Think of your antivirus software. Think of your ninang who always defends you from your mom's sermon. It's your complete protective gear for life's hazards.
From 'sanggalang' (to protect) and the prefix 'pan-' (instrument for).
A more formal and comprehensive term than 'pansangga'. 'Pansangga' is for parrying, 'pansanggalang' is for overall protection.
