How Did Maltese Get The Word Misħun? Linguist Explains

How Did Maltese Get The Word Misħun? Linguist Explains
Aug 8 2024 Share

In his latest explainer, linguist Kurt Rumbajsa explained how the Maltese language got the word ‘misħun’ – which is used to describe hot water.

The word has its origins in Arabic, wherein the word water is ‘ma’, whereas ‘l-ilma’ (with an article) becomes al-ma.

The Maltese language combined the two words and essentially ‘forgot’ that they were once separate. The same happened, Kurt explains, with ‘misħun’.

The word ‘ma’ was combined with the adjective ‘sħun’ (hot), giving us ‘ma-sħun’.

Kurt hypothesises that this could have happened with words like ‘mifhum’, ‘minqux’ and ‘mibdul’.
