EN: to trim; to cut off a part
It's what you tell the barber when you don't want a full-on haircut, just a little off the top. 'Boss, tapasan mo lang 'yung dulo.' Also what you do to your budget before payday when you realize you've spent too much on GrabFood.
From `tapas` (a cut piece) + suffix `-an`.
