Tagalog

Etymology 1

From tulis (“sharpness”) +‎ -an.

For the sense “robber; brigand; bandit; outlaw”, the word can be interpreted literally as “pointed; bladeholder; person with a pointed weapon”. The usage of the sense was said to have started appearing after the Agrarian Revolt of 1745 in Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, and in Bulacan where indigenous landowners rose in arms over the land grabbing of Spanish friars or Catholic religious orders, with native landowners demanding that Spanish priests return their lands on the basis of ancestral domain. Doublet of tulisanes.
