EN: Hanger; rack; hook; place to hang things
The unsung hero of your messy room. It's the chair where you throw all your 'pambahay' and 'panlakad' clothes. Technically, it's supposed to be a proper hook, a clothes rack, or a hanger ('sabit' is the action, 'sabitan' is the object/place). But for many Pinoys, that one 'The Chair' is the ultimate sabitan.
From 'sabit' + '-an' (place/instrument).
ROOT MEANING: Hanging; snagged; caught on
Can refer to a single hook, a full rack, or a clothesline.
