FIL: Isang makina o lugar kung saan tinatanggalan ng ipa ang palay upang maging bigas.
EN: rice mill
The OG factory for our unli-rice dreams. It's the place where palay (unhusked rice) gets its glow-up and becomes bigas (husked rice). Think of it as a spa for rice grains, where they get a good scrubbing to reveal their true, white, fluffy potential.
From 'kiskis' (to rub) + '-an' (place suffix). Literally 'a place for rubbing/milling'.
ROOT MEANING: friction
