xiex

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Maltese

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From x’ + earlier *iex (what), of which latter x’ is itself a contraction, thus a reduplicative formation. *iex is from Arabic أَيُّ شَيْء (ʔayyu šayʔ, literally what thing), exactly equivalent to Moroccan Arabic آش (ʔāš). Also cognate with Hijazi Arabic إيش (ēš), where the contracted vowel is different, however.
