FIL: Ang kilos ng pagdurog o paggiling ng isang bagay, lalo na ng mga butil tulad ng palay o mais, upang maging mas pino.
EN: Was ground; was milled
This is what happened to the rice before it became bigas. It's the process of taking the grains and grinding them to remove the husk. Think of it as the rice's spa day where it gets a full-body exfoliation to become the pretty white grain you know and love.
From 'ligi' (to grind, to mill) with the infix '-in-'.
Primarily used in an agricultural or food processing context, especially for grains like rice or corn. It is less common than 'giniling'.
