EN: roughness; coarseness (of a surface)
This is the texture of your siko (elbow) when you forget to put on lotion. It's the feeling of un-sanded wood or a cheap, low-thread-count bedsheet. In a person, it can describe a rough, unrefined character, like a "brusko" tito from the province.
From `pagka-` (quality of being) + `maligasgas` (rough).
ROOT MEANING: rough; coarse
Primarily refers to physical texture but can be used metaphorically for behavior.
