EN: person from the province; provincial
Used to be a term for someone from outside the big city, sometimes with a hint of "hampaslupa" condescension. But thanks to Cardo Dalisay, being a probinsiyano now means you're basically an unkillable, morally upright action hero. Also, someone who gets genuinely excited by the MRT and thinks Manila traffic is a form of punishment from the gods.
Mula sa Espanyol na "provinciano".
ROOT MEANING: province
The feminine form is 'probinsiyana'. The term can be neutral, a point of pride, or sometimes used pejoratively by city dwellers.
