FIL: Ang mabilis at paulit-ulit na paggagasgas o pagkiskis ng isang bagay sa ibabaw ng iba; maaari ring tumukoy sa mabilis na pagpapatakbo ng sasakyan.
EN: scrape, scratch; fast driving, speeding
Two main meanings: 1) The sound and action of scraping something, like getting ice for halo-halo or using a 'pang-kaskas' for a coconut. 2) The act of a 'kaskasero' driver. That jeepney driver who treats EDSA like a race track? That's pure **kaskas**.
Likely onomatopoeic, imitating the sound of scraping.
As a noun, it can refer to the act or the result (the scrape mark). The meaning of "speeding" is idiomatic and very common in the context of driving.
