FIL: Isang bagay, kilos, o salita na ginagamit upang pigilan, hadlangan, o pahintuin ang isang gawain o intensyon.
EN: deterrent, countermeasure
This is your "pang-kontra" or "pang-block." Think of it as that one friend who always reminds you of your diet when you're about to order extra rice. Or the "seen" on Messenger that stops you from messaging again. It's the ultimate "stop right there!" move to prevent something from happening.
From `pan-` (instrumental prefix) + `sawata` (to stop, to suppress).
ROOT MEANING: to suppress, to quell, to stop
Often used in the context of preventing something negative, like a crime, a bad habit, or a tantrum.
