FIL: Isang lugar o pagawaan kung saan isinasagawa ang proseso ng paglalagay ng nikel sa mga bagay na metal; nikeladuhan.
EN: nickel-plating shop
This is the place you go to get your stuff 'nikeladuhin'. It's a workshop, probably smelling of chemicals and metal, where they do the magic of electroplating. Think of it as a spa for metal parts, where they go in dull and come out shiny and protected. The 'talyer' for your metal bling.
From 'nikel' + '-an' suffix.
ROOT MEANING: nickel
Can also refer to the act of applying nickel to a surface (verb form, nikelahan), but the noun form (shop) is more distinct.
