EN: well-off person; someone financially comfortable
This is your 'tita' who always travels abroad, or your friend who can afford to buy concert tickets without checking their bank account. They're not necessarily 'mayaman' in the crazy rich Asian sense, but they're definitely not struggling. They're living comfortably, the goal of every 'alipin ng salapi'.
From `tao` (person) + `na` (that) + `nakaluluwag` (is able to make loose/spacious, i.e., comfortable) + `sa buhay` (in life).
ROOT MEANING: spaciousness; relief
A more polite and less direct way of saying someone is rich or well-to-do.
