Your go-to for starting a fire, whether it's for the kalan de uling, the ihawan for your weekend barbecue, or that scented candle for your "me time." Could be a lighter, a matchstick (posporo), or even crumpled up newspaper. Basically, the spark that gets things going.
From `pan-` (instrumental prefix) + `sindi` (to light, to ignite).
