FIL: Maging matamis ang lasa o katangian.
EN: to become sweet
A rare, almost poetic way to say something turned sweet. Think of it as the vintage filter version of 'tumamis.' You'd use this to describe a fruit ripening on the vine, or perhaps a person's bitter attitude finally softening. It's got that old-timey, probinsya charm.
From 'amis', an archaic or regional term for sweetness, distinct from the more common 'tamis'.
ROOT MEANING: oppressed; downtrodden; scorned
This is a rare and somewhat literary word. The more common term is 'tumamis'.
