EN: scar
The permanent reminder of that time you fell off your bike, tried to cook something ambitious, or got into a fight. It's the body's version of 'Remember when...?' Some are battle scars, others are just... well, scars from being clumsy. It's your personal history written on your skin.
The exact origin is uncertain, but it is a native Austronesian term. It is not a Spanish loanword.
