FIL: Isang uri ng manok na tandang na inaalagaan at sinasanay para partikular na ilaban sa sabong.
EN: fighting cock
Not your average 'manok'. This is a feathered gladiator, a 'tinali'. It's bred, trained, and fed better than some people, all for the cockpit. This is the main character in the world of 'sabong', the source of both fortune and 'talong' (loss) for many pintakasi.
From 'sabong' (cockfighting) + '-in' suffix, indicating the object of the action.
ROOT MEANING: cockfighting
Refers specifically to the rooster designated for a cockfight.
