FIL: Isang pahiwatig o parunggit na hindi direktang sinasabi ang tunay na kahulugan; pagpaparamdam.
EN: a hint, an allusion, an insinuation (archaic)
This is the ancestor of "pasaring". It's the OG "parinig". Think of your lola saying "Naku, ang mga kabataan ngayon..." while looking at you playing on your phone. It's a hint, but with the subtlety of a history book. It's so old-school, it's almost a museum piece.
Obscure, likely from `pa-` + `sari` (thought, idea).
ROOT MEANING: various, assorted
Very rarely used in modern conversation. `Pasaring` is the common term now.
