Broader Usage (verb)
Another use of the term, as a verb, simply means to wrap a piece of cloth around one's body to cover it up. A person who does so is said to be nagtatapis (putting on a tapis). This usage of the term does not require that the piece of cloth be of any traditional kind, and in fact the most common instance of it is when one wraps a bath towel around oneself before or after bathing.
