FIL: Isang lugar kung saan matatagpuan ang maraming yaman o kayamanan; isang pinagkukunan ng kasaganaan.
EN: treasure trove; source of wealth
If 'yaman' is the treasure, 'yamanan' is the treasure chest or the treasure map's 'X' spot. It's the place where the wealth is concentrated. Think of the Bangko Sentral's gold reserves, a hidden pirate chest, or your rich *ninang's* bank account that you hope to inherit. It's the source, the motherlode.
ROOT MEANING: wealth, riches, treasure
The suffix '-an' here denotes a place or a repository of the root word 'yaman'. It is less common than 'kayamanan'.
