EN: meeting point; intersection; encounter
This is the designated 'kita-kits' spot. The 'See you at the entrance of SM' or 'Sa ilalim ng waiting shed.' It's the intersection, the junction, the rendezvous point where paths cross. Can be romantic (a lovers' meeting place) or stressful (EDSA-Ortigas during rush hour).
From 'salubong' (to meet) + '-an' (locative suffix).
ROOT MEANING: act of meeting or fetching someone; reception
