Broken down, the entwined words: Trauma (-in a nutshell, something that has become unforgetable) and Maligno (-Filipino for haunting mythical nightstalkers) were brought together to capture a richer term for recall or memory. Traumaligno conotes an entity that caused condensed joy or sorrow that it becomes embedded in memory to the extent that it haunts its perceiver.
