FIL: Isang butas, siwang, o daanan kung saan lumalabas ang singaw, hangin, o anumang gas.
EN: vent, steam outlet, nozzle
It's the little hole where steam escapes. Think of the whistle on a pressure cooker, the vent on a rice cooker, or even a small opening in a geyser. It's the designated exit point for hot air and pressure. In a 'hugot' sense, your friend who always listens to your rants is your personal 'singawan'.
From 'singaw' (steam, vapor) + '-an' (suffix indicating a place or device for something).
Commonly used in cooking, mechanical, and industrial contexts. It is the place *where* steam ('singaw') comes out.
