Describing conservative accents of the early 19th century, Vassalli distinguished between two verbs, one with /ħ/ meaning “to allure” and one with /χ/ meaning “to let someone choose”. The contemporary ħajjar thus continues Arabic حَيَّرَ (ḥayyara, “to confuse, abash”). The semantic connection may be the Arabic use for “to make someone lose their head”, e.g. romantically, which developed into the notion of “alluring, tempting” in Maltese. The second verb, from Arabic خَيَّرَ (ḵayyara), has been lost.

Wara l-bibien,

il-qtigħ ta’ qalb,
batejt fuq kollox il-mistħija;
iżda ġarrabt ukoll
il-ferħ u l-għaxqa
li kull tallab iħoss
x’ħin jasal wisq għajjien bil-ħorġa f’idu
bil-ħobż għand ommu mġewħa.

Apparently from Arabic لَقَطَ (laqaṭa, “to pick up”). A development “pick up” → “grab” → “hit” might be conceivable, but probably influenced by such roots as لَكَأَ (lakaʔa), لَكَثَ (lakaṯa), لَكِدَ (lakida), لَكَزَ (lakaza), all meaning “to hit”. Compare also Yemeni Arabic لكد (lakad) in this sense.

(figurative) to hit, strike (with some damaging action)

u d-diqa mwebsa ma’ ħaddejja.
