tweezering
Extracting with pincers
Tweezering is the act of using tweezers to pluck or manipulate something small—typically hairs, splinters, or delicate objects.
The word emphasizes the painstaking, precise nature of the work: She spent an hour tweezering her eyebrows.
Figuratively, it can describe any meticulous extraction or fine-grained adjustment: tweezering out the relevant details from a dense report.
