Are there any words that start with an x?

While there are a few words that start with the letter "x" in English, they are mostly of foreign origin or are specialized terms.

Here are some examples:

* Xenophobia: Fear of foreigners or strangers

* Xylophone: Musical instrument with wooden bars

* Xerox: A brand name for a type of photocopier

* X-ray: A type of electromagnetic radiation

* Xylography: The art of wood engraving

There are very few words that start with "x" that are commonly used in everyday English. This is because the letter "x" was rarely used in Old English, and it was primarily introduced into the language through loanwords from other languages.
