FIL: Isang bagay, karaniwang magaspang na bato o espongha, na ginagamit sa pagkuskos ng katawan upang maalis ang libag o dumi.
EN: scrubber, scouring stone
The OG Filipino exfoliator. This is usually a smooth-ish, flattish stone ('bato') you find and keep in the bathroom to scrub away the 'libag' (dead skin/grime). Before loofahs and body scrubs became a thing, the panghilod was there for us, making sure we were squeaky clean. It's a low-tech, high-effectiveness skincare tool.
From pang- (instrumental prefix) + hilod (to scrub off dirt from the skin).
ROOT MEANING: scrubbing (of the body); a scrubbing tool
Traditionally a pumice-like stone, but can now refer to loofahs, bath scrubs, or any exfoliating tool.
🇵🇭 Magaspang ang bagong panghilod na nabili ni nanay sa palengke.
🇺🇸 The new scrubber mom bought from the market is rough.
🇵🇭 Huwag mong masyadong idiin ang panghilod at baka magasgas ang balat mo.
🇺🇸 Don't press the scouring stone too hard or you might scratch your skin.
