Xmas
Il termine Xmas o X-Mas è una popolare abbreviazione della parola inglese Christmas (Natale). Tale abbreviazione deriva dalla parola greca ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, ovvero Cristo.
Originariamente la prima lettera di Xmas stava per Χ (chi) e veniva quindi pronunciata secondo la fonetica greca, ovvero come un [kh] aspirato. Con il tempo però il chi greco, a causa della sua somiglianza con la lettera latina X, diventò sempre più simile a quest'ultima assumendone anche la pronuncia.
