EN: to run out of something (for someone)
The horror! 'Ubusan' is that tragic moment you get to the bakery and they're out of pandesal, or when you're the last one in line for the buffet and all the lechon skin is gone. It's the verb form of 'FOMO' (Fear of Missing Out). The "-an" suffix implies the location or person affected by the 'ubos' (running out).
From 'ubos' (consumed) + '-an' suffix.
A locative-focus verb. The action focuses on the person or place that experiences the lack of the item.
