Translation of "masinsin" into English

Ngunit, kapag umulan, ang mga sinulid ay umaalsa anupat nagiging masinsin ang habi at hindi tinatagos ng tubig ang tela.

However, when it rains, the threads swell, closing up the weave and making the cloth waterproof.

Tanging ang tinatawag na “ginintuang anggulo” lamang na humigit-kumulang 137.5 digri ang eksaktong tumutubo nang masinsin.

Only what has been termed the “golden angle” of approximately 137.5 degrees results in an ideally compact arrangement of growths.
