"fesfes" meaning in Maltese

See fesfes in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈfɛs.fɛs/
Etymology: From Arabic وَسْوَسَ (waswasa). The replacement of /w/ with voiceless /f/ is onomatopoeic; moreover it simplifies the formation of the conjugated forms since forms like weswsu would have to be contracted (compare werwer).
