"tnikker" meaning in All languages combined

See tnikker on Wiktionary

Verb [Maltese]

IPA: /ˈtnɪk.kɛr/
Etymology: Apparently from Arabic تَنَكَّرَ (tanakkara). The Maltese sense of workshyness (seen as a grave character flaw) could derive directly from the original meaning “to change to a dubious or negative state”. An alternative path might be “to disguise oneself” → “to feign, affect” → “to act unwillingly”.
