FIL: Isang uri ng kulani o pamamaga ng lymph node, partikular na sa singit o kili-kili, na kadalasang sintomas ng malubhang sakit tulad ng salot na buboniko.
EN: bubo
This isn't your ordinary pigsa. This is the 'level-up' version, the pigsa that gets its own dramatic historical name. Literally 'rat's boil,' it refers to the swollen lymph nodes characteristic of the bubonic plague. So yeah, if someone says they have this, you don't offer them a warm compress, you call a historian... or a doctor, ASAP.
From `pigsa` (boil) + `-ng` + `daga` (rat), referring to its association with the plague spread by rats.
ROOT MEANING: boil
Very specific and often used in historical or serious medical contexts. Not for everyday bumps.
