EN: embassy
The place you run to when you lose your passport abroad. It's a little slice of the Philippines in a foreign land, complete with long lines, lots of paperwork, and the distinct possibility of bumping into a kabayan you haven't seen in years. For OFWs, it's both a sanctuary and a source of bureaucratic headaches.
`pa-` + `sugo` (envoy, messenger) + `-an` (place suffix). Literally 'place of envoys'.
ROOT MEANING: envoy, messenger, emissary
A more formal Filipino term for 'embahada' (embassy).
