"gozz" meaning in Maltese

See gozz in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡɔt͡s/ Forms: gzuz [plural]
Etymology: From Arabic كُدْس (kuds, “to pile”). In the original plural أَكْداس (ʔakdās) and in certain forms of the related verb كَدَسَ (kadasa), the -k- was voiced by assimilation to the following -d-, and this voicing was then generalised (as in gideb, gidem etc.). In a second step the cluster -ds- was reanalysed as -zz-, leading to the new plural gzuz.
