"donn" meaning in Maltese

See donn in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adverb

IPA: /dɔnn/ Forms: donn- [canonical]
Etymology: From Arabic. Probably the imperfect of ظَنَّ (ẓanna, “to think, opine, conjecture”) in a phrase like أَظُنُّهُم مُتَضايِقِين (ʔaẓunnuhum mutaḍāyiqīn, “I think them despondent”). Then reconstrued as an adverb (or false verb). Alternatively from the related noun ظَنّ (ẓann, “opinion, conjecture”), but this seems unlikely. Etymology templates: {{inh|mt|ar|-}} Arabic Head templates: {{mt-adv|head=donn-}} donn-
  1. seemingly, by appearance
    Sense id: en-donn-mt-adv-B5uNVnm7 Categories (other): Maltese entries with incorrect language header, Pages with 6 entries, Pages with entries
