FIL: Ang pag-ubos ng lahat ng pagkain sa isang plato o lalagyan, na walang itinitirang anuman; ang pagkuha ng lahat hanggang sa wala nang matira.
EN: to scrape clean; to consume to the last bit
That thing you do when the ulam is so good you scrape the plate clean, leaving no trace of sauce or rice. "Sayang ang grasya," as our lolas would say. It’s the highest form of compliment to the chef. Can also be used for money, like when you spend everything down to the last centavo before payday.
From 'mag-' (actor-focus verb prefix) + 'simot' (used up, consumed completely).
ROOT MEANING: used up, wiped out
Often used in the context of food, but can also apply to resources like money or supplies.
