EN: frying pan
The official weapon of choice for any Pinoy mom or lola. It's not just a pan; it's a multi-tool. It's for frying, for gisa, sometimes for threatening misbehaving kids (just kidding... mostly). The sound of oil sizzling in the prituhan is the sound of 'Umuwi ka na, luto na ang ulam!'
From 'prito' + '-han' suffix, indicating a place or tool.
ROOT MEANING: fried
While it literally means 'place for frying', it almost always refers to a frying pan (kawali).
