In Filipino, the act of watching, guarding, or keeping watch over someone or something.
From Filipino/Tagalog, derived from 'bantay' (guard) with the suffix '-an' indicating an action or state.
Filipino grammar is beautifully logical — you can turn 'bantay' (guard) into 'bantayan' (the act of guarding) just by adding a suffix, something that English requires separate words to express.
