EN: act of measuring by the yard
This is what the tindera at the fabric store does. You say, 'Ate, pabili pong dalawang yarda,' and she whips out her meter stick (which is close enough) and does the 'pagyarda.' It's the specific action of measuring something out in yards.
From `pag-` + `yarda` (from Spanish `yarda`, from English `yard`).
ROOT MEANING: Yard (unit of measurement)
Specific to measuring length, especially for fabric or land, using the imperial unit 'yard'.
