Pagadianとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Multiple etymologies exist:

• The city is believed to have been an Iranun trading post in the past, and so a blend of Iranun pagad (“to wait”) + padian (“market”) are widely accepted as the roots of the name.
• Possibly from Central Subanen gagadian, a bird that the native inhabitants call.
• Possibly from the Cebuano word pangadyian (“a place to pray; land of prayers”).
• Also speculated to be derived from Central Subanen pengadian (“school”).
