EN: Going home, on the way home
The best two words a BPO agent, student, or any employee can text their loved one after a long shift: 'Pauwi na.' It's the signal that freedom is near, and so is traffic, but hey, at least you're going home. It's the light at the end of the EDSA tunnel.
From pa- prefix (going towards) + uwi (home).
ROOT MEANING: going home; the act of returning home
Often used with 'na' as in 'pauwi na' to mean 'on the way home now'.
