EN: scrubbing, rubbing, scouring
That intense workout your arms get when scrubbing the 'kaldero' after cooking adobo. It's the friction-filled action of cleaning something, whether it's your back with a 'bimpo', the floor with a 'bunot', or your ex's number from your phone (metaphorically, of course).
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `kuskos` (to rub/scrub).
ROOT MEANING: scrub, rub, friction
Can refer to cleaning, polishing, or even scratching an itch ('pagkakamot').
