Etymology 2 The variable name comes from usage in Spain, as up to the 16th century ⟨x⟩ had the sound value/ʃ/ inSpanish Arabic ش ( š ) used for the purpose of a variable as an abbreviation ofشَيْء ( šayʔ ,“ thing ” ) .[ 1] /x/ , which explains the decisionmade in the circle of theInternational Phonetic Association to assign this character to the voiceless velar fricative. CompareEnglish hickey ( “ 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.

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 isvariable , 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.
