EN: act of sharpening to a point
Remember in elementary school when you'd use a 'pantasa' (sharpener) on your Mongol pencil? That action is 'pagyayasyas.' It's the act of making something pointy. It can be a pencil, a barbecue stick for your isaw, or even a piece of bamboo. It's the OG way to get your point across, literally.
From `pag-` + `CV` (first syllable repetition) + `yasyas` (to sharpen to a point).
ROOT MEANING: to sharpen; to scrape
Distinct from 'paghahasa' which means to sharpen a blade (like a knife). 'Pagyayasyas' is specifically for making a point.
