Is it an isolated word in your packet. If you can provide more context either post it as a new question or put it in an answer box here. You've stirred up some curiosity! - Jubilado, Aug 30, 2013

My guess is that it's a typo. The verb you're probably looking for is "rascar" which means "to scratch." The extra "f" is probably there because the "f" key is directly below the "r" key on the keyboard. That's my guess.

I love it. That was the first think I checked. - 003492fc, Aug 30, 2013

Hello. I am pretty sure that there is an apostrophe between the "t" and the "s" in it's. What do you think?

A little bit more context would be fantastic. Maybe the whole sentence where frascar is but I will do my guesses:

Frasco means jar or pot. So frascar could be the action: 'to pack'.

I hope this helps.

You are correct about "it's" the contraction for "it is". The homonym "its" is the neuter possesive pronoun. - Jubilado, Aug 30, 2013

While we wait for user pintpower to come back and give us a little bit of context or feedback (if she/he does so), I would like to make a question about packet.

The user wrote:

I've made a little research and the word packet seems to have in English the same wide/general/vague meaning than in Spanish.

Paquete in Spanish refers to something that contains other things. Does this word have a specific use that I am missing? I ask this here because it is strongly related to this question.
