"trux" meaning in Maltese

See trux in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /truːʃ/ Forms: truxa [feminine, singular], torox [plural], trajjax [diminutive], trajjex [diminutive]
Etymology: From Arabic. The Maltese plural directly continues طُرْش (ṭurš), plural of أَطْرَش (ʔaṭraš). The singular might go back to an intensive/frequentative form *طَرُوش (*ṭarūš) or might be a backformation from truxija (“deafness”). There is also a possibility of Aramaic influence; compare Mandaic [script needed] (ṭrūš, ṭarūš, “deaf”). Sense 2 is usually used for the geminated verbs, possibly called as such due to being ‘less responsive’ to change in structure. Etymology templates: {{inh|mt|ar|-}} Arabic, {{der|mt|arc|-}} Aramaic, {{cog|mid||t=deaf|tr=ṭrūš, ṭarūš}} Mandaic [script needed] (ṭrūš, ṭarūš, “deaf”) Head templates: {{mt-adjective|dim=trajjax|dim2=trajjex|f=truxa|p=torox}} trux (feminine singular truxa, plural torox, diminutive trajjax or trajjex)
