EN: Answer; responsibility
This is the 'final answer' you give on a game show, or the text you've been waiting for all day. But it's also the 'Ako bahala' or 'I got this' you tell your friend. 'Sagot kita' means 'I've got your back,' making it the ultimate word for both solutions and support.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *səbət meaning 'answer, reply'.
This word has two primary meanings: 1) a reply or solution, and 2) a charge, responsibility, or something one sponsors/pays for ('my treat'). The context determines the meaning.
