FIL: Isang kasangkapan na ginagamit upang gawing matulis ang dulo ng isang lapis o krayola.
EN: sharpener
The unsung hero of your grade school pencil case that you could never find right before a major exam. It's that magical little box that eats your pencil shavings. In adult life, it's a metaphor for anything that 'sharpens' your skills, like a brutal performance review.
From the prefix 'pan-' (instrumental) and the root word 'tasa' (to sharpen).
ROOT MEANING: cup
