FIL: Ang kabuuan ng daigdig, kasama ang lahat ng nilalang at bagay dito; ang sangkatauhan.
EN: world
This is a very grand, almost poetic word for "the world." It's not just the planet; it's everything and everyone in it. Think of it as the universe from a human-centric point of view. You'll hear this in church, in epic fantasy movies (Tagalog-dubbed, of course), or when your lola is giving you life advice that spans generations. "Buong mundo" is the casual version, `sanlibutan` is the formal gown.
From `isa` (one) + `-ng` + `libot` (to go around) + `-an` (suffix indicating place). Literally "that which is encompassed in one circuit/journey."
Often used in religious or literary contexts. Interchangeable with `daigdig` and `mundo` but carries a more profound, all-encompassing tone.
