EN: Stripped; shredded (e.g., fiber from a plant)
Imagine making a rope from a plant. The act of scraping and pulling the fibers out is 'nilalas'. It's like giving a plant a very rough, one-way haircut to get its strong, stringy bits. Very old-school, pre-Shopee way of getting thread.
From 'laslas' (to rip, to tear into strips) with the infix '-in-'.
ROOT MEANING: slash, gash, slit
Often used in the context of creating textiles, ropes, or native crafts from plant fibers.
