As a neuter noun, it indicates the technical operation itself performed on machine tools. It describes the structural state of a part whose final dimensions and geometric precisions were obtained via a cutting tool.
• Machinist — Performing or serving for cutting; a tool, device, or machine tool structurally designed to remove machining allowance from a part in the form of chips.

• Hide-and-seek — A plural form used almost exclusively in the adverbial phrase 'pe ascunsele', which signifies performing an action secretly, clandestinely, or covertly, hidden from public view. It also represents the elliptical nominal variant for the popular children's game 'de-a ascunsele' (hide-and-seek), where participants try to hide so as not to be found by the one designated to search for them.
