/U-gat/
FIL: Ang bahagi ng halaman na karaniwang nasa ilalim ng lupa, sumisipsip ng tubig at sustansya; ang mga daluyan ng dugo sa katawan; o ang pinagmulan o sanhi ng isang bagay.
EN: root; vein; origin
Ugat is the OG, the source code, the foundation. Sa halaman, it's what keeps it from falling over. Sa katawan mo, it's the "expressway" for your blood (veins). Sa chismis, ito 'yung "root cause" ng buong drama. When you're looking for the "ugat" of a problem, you're playing detective to find out where it all started.
A versatile word with literal (botany, anatomy) and figurative (origin, cause) meanings.
