FIL: Naglalarawan sa isang taong lubhang magastos o walang pakundangan sa pagwaldas ng pera o yaman. Madalas itong ginagamit sa pariralang "prodigal son" (alibughang anak).
EN: prodigal; wastefully extravagant
The original "nag-abroad, umuwing walang naipon." This isn't just someone who splurges on milk tea; this is the person who inherits a fortune and spends it all on lavish parties and bad investments. The term is most famous from the Bible story about the 'prodigal son' who came home broke and was still welcomed with a feast—a scenario every financially-struggling Pinoy dreams of.
Mula sa Ingles na "prodigal," hango sa Latin na "prodigere" (to drive away, to waste).
Almost exclusively used in reference to the biblical parable of the "Prodigal Son," which is "Alibughang Anak" in Filipino. The direct use of "prodigal" in a Tagalog sentence is rare and literary.
