The story goes that a Dublin theatre proprietor by the name of
Richard Daly made a bet that he could, within forty-eight hours,
make a nonsense word known throughout the city, and that the
public would supply a meaning for it. After a performance one
evening, he gave his staff cards with the word ‘x' written on them,
and told them to write the word on walls around the city. The next
day the strange word was the talk of the town, and within a short
time it had become part of the language.

21. 9. X?
The most detailed account of this supposed Exploit (in F. T.
Porter's Gleanings and Reminiscences, 1875) gives its date as
1791. The word, however, was already in use by then, meaning
'an odd or Eccentric person', and had been used in this sense by
Fanny Burney in her diary entry for 24 June 1782.
‘X' was also used as a name for a kind of toy, something like a yo-
yo, which was popular around 1790. The word is nevertheless
hard to account for, and so is its later meaning of 'to question or
interrogate'. This emerged in the mid-19th century and gave rise to
the most common use of the term today.
