EN: to embroider; to tassel
It's the verb form of adding those fancy, dangly threads (borlas) to things like graduation caps, curtains, or even that old barong you only wear to weddings. Think of it as giving something a little extra 'oomph' or 'bling' with thread. It's the OG way of customizing your gear before patches and pins became a thing.
From Spanish "borlas" (tassels).
ROOT MEANING: tassel
Often used in the context of sewing, fashion, and decoration.
