EN: to thread (a screw)
This is what a plumber or a mekaniko does to a pipe or bolt. Imagine trying to screw something in, but it's smooth. *Roskasan* is the act of carving those spiral grooves onto it so it can actually connect. It's like giving a smooth-talker some actual points to make a connection. Without the *roskas*, it's just a smooth, useless piece of metal.
From Spanish "rosca" (thread) + Tagalog suffix "-an".
Used in mechanical, construction, or plumbing contexts. The root 'roskas' refers to the screw thread itself.

🇵🇭 Kailangang roskasan muna ang dulo ng tubo bago ito ikabit.
🇺🇸 The end of the pipe needs to be threaded first before it can be attached.
🇵🇭 Sira na ang roskas, kaya hindi na maipasok. Kailangan itong roskasan ulit.
🇺🇸 The thread is damaged, so it can't be inserted. It needs to be re-threaded.
