Pseudo-Hispanism?
I saw your recent edits, and there's a reason why I placed it as a pseudo-Hispanism. Regardless, given that the correct word for "iniciative" in Spanish is, and the word you find in Tagalog dictionaries is , that's very big evidence that "inisyatibo" is Tagalog speakers trying to make the English word "iniciative" into Tagalog by making it Spanish-sounding, without knowing the Spanish word. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 07:05, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) It's not found in any Tagalog/Pilipino/Filipino dictionaries, so it's a relatively newly invented word.
 * 2) The word in Spanish  exists as an adjective, but not as a noun. I know it shows in the Spanish entry in Wiktionary that it's also a noun, but I think it's wrong. If you look at Spanish dictionaries, "iniciativo" is the adjective. "Iniciativa" is the noun. That's why the Spanish entry in  may be false.
