The action or process of wearing away or scraping off a surface through friction.
Present participle of 'abrase,' from Latin 'abradere,' indicating an ongoing action of surface removal.
Abrasing is happening constantly in nature—waves abrading rocky cliffs, wind abrading desert rocks into unusual shapes, and even your teeth abrading each other slightly when you chew, which is why dentists care about your bite force.
