FIL: Isang tao na ang gawain ay ang palihim o maingat na pagbabantay at pagmamasid sa isang tao, bagay, o lugar.
EN: watcher; lookout; spy
The more intense, high-stakes version of a 'tagamasid'. This isn't just casual watching; this is 'James Bond' level surveillance. They're the lookout for a heist, the spy in a movie, or your overprotective parent secretly watching you on your first date. There's a sense of purpose and secrecy here.
From `taga-` (doer) + `matyag` (watch closely, spy on).
ROOT MEANING: observation, surveillance
