This word has its origins in the Spanish language.
pós·tur·yó·so
having the attitude of dressing to impress
This has a slightly more negative connotation in Tagalog than one would expect from the English translation. This is because humility is paramount in Filipino culture — so anyone who is posturyoso is seen as “posturing” or behaving in a way that puts himself/herself as better than others.
spelling variation: pustoryoso
rare female variation: postoryosa, pustoryosa
KAHULUGAN SA TAGALOG
