EN: Riverbank; shore
Not just the city with the famous river, but the OG Tagalog word for a riverbank. Before it was a location, it was... a location. Think of it as the place where you'd have a picnic by the water, or where the 'labanderas' used to wash clothes. Its modern use is almost entirely for the city name.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *pasiR, meaning 'sand' or 'beach'.
This definition is archaic as a common noun and is now almost exclusively known as the proper noun for Pasig City and the Pasig River.
