"dejjaq" meaning in Maltese

See dejjaq in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /ˈdɛj.jaʔ/ Forms: dejqa [feminine, singular], dejqin [plural], dojoq [plural], idjaq [comparative]
Etymology: From Arabic ضَيِّق (ḍayyiq). The expected form would be *dajjaq due to the originally emphatic ḍ (compare tajjeb). This influence was either levelled out in Maltese or the underlying form was a dissimilated variant dayyiq, ḏayyiq, which exists in several Arabic dialects.
