FIL: Ang pag-alis ng isang bagay sa pamamagitan ng pagkaskas o pagkayod. Ito ay tumutukoy din sa isang medikal na pamamaraan (dilation and curettage).
EN: to scrape; to shave off
This is the action version of 'raspa'. It's what you do to get old paint off a wall. It's what the vendor does to the block of ice to make your dessert. In a more serious, hospital setting, it refers to the D&C procedure, often spoken about in hushed tones. So context is EVERYTHING. Don't ask a street vendor to raspahin your wall.
From 'raspa' + '-hin' suffix.
ROOT MEANING: scrape; shavings; shaved ice dessert
The medical meaning (to perform a D&C) is a very common and serious use of the word.
