EN: act of winding thread or string around something
Think of how they prepare the "longganisa" at the palengke, tying it into segments. Or when you're so bored you start winding your earphone cables around your finger until they're a tangled mess. That's pagbibidbid. It’s an old-school word for coiling or wrapping something thin tightly.
From `pag-` + `bi-` (reduplication of the first syllable of the root) + `bidbid` (to wind, to coil).
ROOT MEANING: ladyfish, tenpounder (Elops saurus)
This is a less common word, often associated with crafts, fishing, or weaving.
