/pag-ka-las-LAS/
FIL: Ang kilos ng paghiwa o pagpilas nang malaki at malalim gamit ang isang matalim na bagay; ang resulta o sugat mula sa gawaing ito.
EN: act of slashing or cutting open; a slash wound
This is a bit more intense than a simple "hiwa". Think Zorro leaving his mark, or a chef expertly scoring a fish before grilling. It's a slash, a deep cut. It can also describe the result of that action, like "May pagkalaslas yung sako ng bigas kaya natatapon." It's a word that sounds exactly like what it is: a sharp, tearing sound - laslas!
From `pagka-` (gerund/manner prefix) + `laslas` (to slash).
ROOT MEANING: slash, gash, slit
Can be quite graphic. Used for deep, long cuts.
