FIL: Ang pagiging tahimik at kalmado; isang pormal at magalang na paraan upang sabihing namatay o pumanaw na.
EN: to become peaceful; to pass away
Has two main vibes. 1) The feeling after a stressful week when you can finally log off and just chill. 'Pumayapa na rin ang isip ko.' (My mind is finally at peace). 2) A gentle, respectful way to say someone has died. 'Pumayapa na si Lolo.' (Grandpa has passed away peacefully). It's the ultimate state of peace.
From `payapa` (peace) with the infix `-um-`.
ROOT MEANING: peaceful; calm; tranquil
The meaning depends heavily on context. If referring to a situation or feeling, it means 'to become peaceful.' If referring to a person, it is a euphemism for 'to die.'
