Perhaps from a metathesis of Arabic حَفِيَ (ḥafiya, “to walk barefoot; to abrade one’s feet by lengthy walking”). Joseph Aquilina mentions that ħafi (“barefoot”) was also used in the sense of “roamer”, thus preserving here the original participle form. There may have been a merger with حافَ (ḥāfa), يَحُوفُ (yaḥūfu, “to visit”, among other senses), or هافَ (hāfa), يَهِيفُ (yahīfu, “to run away”, of a slave), or some other phonetically related root.

From Arabic سَخِطَ (saḵiṭa, “to be indignant, to resent”). Compare Tunisian Arabic سخطة (saḵṭa, “a curse”). The verb was used in Classical Arabic in phrases like اللهُ يَسْخَطُ لَكُم ذٰلِك (allāhu yasḵaṭu lakum ḏālik, literally “may God be indignant at you for that”). Accordingly, the subject must originally have been God, but it was then also used of the person who called down the curse on another.

Describing conservative accents of the early 19th century, Vassalli distinguished between two verbs, one with /ħ/ meaning “to allure” and one with /χ/ meaning “to let someone choose”. The contemporary ħajjar thus continues Arabic حَيَّرَ (ḥayyara, “to confuse, abash”). The semantic connection may be the Arabic use for “to make someone lose their head”, e.g. romantically, which developed into the notion of “alluring, tempting” in Maltese. The second verb, from Arabic خَيَّرَ (ḵayyara), has been lost.
