"tnikker" meaning in Maltese

See tnikker in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈtnɪk.kɛr/
Etymology: Apparently from Arabic تَنَكَّرَ (tanakkara). The Maltese sense of workshyness (seen as a grave character flaw) could derive directly from the original meaning “to change to a dubious or negative state”. An alternative path might be “to disguise oneself” → “to feign, affect” → “to act unwillingly”.
