pighati

Possibly borrowed from Malay pedih hati (“heartache”), from pedih (“smarting pain”) +‎ hati (“emotions”, literally “liver”). Compare Javanese ꦥꦿꦶꦲꦠꦶꦤ꧀ (prihatin). An alternate etymology posits it to be from a contracted blend of lupig +‎ Malay hati (“emotions”, literally “liver”). See also Tagalog dalamhati, luwalhati, uluhati, lunggati, and salaghati.
