pighati
Tagalog
editEtymology
editFrom Malay pedih (“smarting pain”) + Malay hati (“emotions”, literally “liver”), meaning "heartache", or literally “smarting liver”. Compare Javanese ꦥꦿꦶꦲꦠꦶꦤ꧀ (prihatin), and Malay pedih hati, as well as Tagalog dalamhati, luwalhati, ulohati, lunggati, and salaghati. An alternate etymology posits it to be from a contracted blend of lupig + hati (“emotions”, literally “liver”).
