EN: scrape; shavings; shaved ice dessert
Remember that summer treat? That's raspa - shaved ice with colorful syrup and milk. It's the OG halo-halo for kids on a budget. But it also means 'scrape'. Like when your car gets a 'gasgas' or 'raspa' in the parking lot. Or when a doctor has to 'raspa' (perform a D&C), which is a less fun context.
From Spanish 'raspa' (scraping, rasping).
The meaning depends heavily on context, from food (shaved ice), to surface damage (scrape), to a medical procedure (D&C or curettage).
