FIL: Lubos na bago, hindi luma o laon, at nasa pinakamainam na kalagayan.
EN: very fresh
This is peak freshness. Not just 'sariwa', but 'sariwang-sariwa'. It's the isda that's still practically twitching in the palengke, the buko juice straight from the shell, or the chismis that just dropped 5 minutes ago. It's the highest tier of 'bago'.
Reduplication of 'sariwa'.
ROOT MEANING: fresh
The repetition of the root word intensifies the meaning, a common feature in Filipino.
