===Etymology 1===

====Letter====
{{mul-letter|upper=X|lower=x|script=Latn}}

# The twenty-fourth letter of the [[Appendix:Latin script|basic modern Latin alphabet]].

====See also====
{{Latn-script}}

===Etymology 2===
The variable name comes from usage in Spain, as up to the 16th century ⟨x⟩ had the sound value {{IPAchar|/ʃ/}} in {{bor|mul|es|-}}, so was used to transcribe {{der|mul|ar|ش|tr=š}} used for the purpose of a variable as an abbreviation of {{m|ar|شيء|شَيْء|t=thing|tr=šayʔ}}.<ref>{{R:mul:Lagarde:1882}}</ref> Its sound value in Spanish has since then become {{IPAchar|/x/}}, which explains the decision {{w|History of the International Phonetic Alphabet|made}} in the circle of the {{w|International Phonetic Association}} to assign this character to the voiceless velar fricative. Compare {{ncog|en|hickey|t=an object whose name is not recalled; bruise-like mark made during petting by pressing the mouth to the skin}} for the development of the sense of a communicated kiss.

=====Usage notes=====
Using {{m|en|x}} (in upper- or lower-case, italicized or not, and sometimes rotated 90 degrees) to indicate multiplication was common in 17th-century mathematical texts.<ref>{{cite-journal|last=Cajori|first=Florian|title=The Cross X as a Symbol for Multiplication|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/094363c0|journal=Nature|volume=94|year=1914|month=December|pages=363–364|doi=10.1038/094363c0}}</ref> Today, this usage is considered poor typography, but it is nevertheless common because computer keyboards lack a {{angbr|×}} key.

===Etymology 4===
[[File:DOnaTREN.jpg|thumb|right|A [[CD-R]] claiming '''52X''' speed.|upright=1.35]]
[[File:Maxell Branded DVD-R.JPG|thumb|right|A [[DVD-R]] claiming '''8x''' speed.|upright=1.35]]
Originates in given multiples of the speeds specified in the original CD and DVD standards, then, by reason of the actual unit being without name but just implied by the multiplication sign, reinterpreted as or used as if a unit, considering also that data transfer speed is ''variable'', so that now, bolstered by stylization of the sign in the marketing of manufacturers, either spelling, with the multiplication sign or with the ex borrowed from the iconic mathematical variable sign, seems correct.

====Symbol====
