| 释义 | > as lemmasXtianity 10. In writing the name Christ n. and int., esp. in abbreviated form, X or x represents the first letter /kaɪ/ of Greek ΧΡΙΤΟkhristos, and XP or xp the first two letters /kaɪrəʊ/. Hence in early times Xp̄, in modern times Xt, Xt, and X, are used as abbreviations of the syllable Christ, alone or in derivatives; thus † Xp̄en, Xp̄n = christen adj. and n., † Xp̄enned = christened adj. and n.; † Xpian, Xtian = Christian adj. and n.; Xtianity = Christianity n.; Xmas n. (Xstmas, Xtmas) = Christmas n.1 and int.†Xp̄c stands for ΧΡ contracted form of ΧΡΙΤΟ; cf. IHS.
