313 Positive Words That Begin With The Letter “X”

X-ray, Xanthic, X-Men

In this article I am going to look at words that begin with X. This letter, the 24th of the alphabet, has a simple and strong shape. X marks the spot for our discussion about an unusual list of words as X words are plentiful, but many are not well known.

To make matters more complicated, it’s difficult to say just what sound the letter X makes at the beginning of a word. In some cases it is pronounced like a Z.

The letter X has always had a bit of a mystique about it. It is used in sci-fi, and comic strip characters.

When I think of X characters I think of Xena, Warrior Princess.

There is also the show, The X-Files, featuring two FBI agents who try to solve cases that involve supernatural and paranormal activity. Fox Mulder and Dana Scully team up in this very popular series which ran from 1993 to 2018.

X-Men has also known great popularity as a comic strip that has been made into extremely successful movies among old and young. Superheroes and supervillains battle it out in comic strips and on the big screen.

In addition to The X-Files and X-Men, the television show, X-Factor was big in the US, Canada and Britain. It features individuals and groups who compete to win through a display of their talents.

Join me as I explore more interesting facts about X words. Be prepared to be surprised!

Positive Words That Start With X To Describe A Person

It’s important to have the correct word to describe someone, and we often search to find just the right word.

The letter X can help with this search by increasing your bank of words that you have to choose from.

 

The letter I have selected for X words that describe a person is xenodochial. It means being friendly or hospitable to people, even strangers.

Have you ever met anyone you would describe this way? I remember once when I was a teenager, hanging out with my friends. There was quite a large group of us, and we had gone to the bowling alley, then we headed off for the home of one of the members of the group.

I didn’t know this girl very well. She was the friend of a friend, so I felt a little uncomfortable going to her house. I could imagine that her parents wouldn’t be very happy to see a big group of teenagers on their doorstep.

When we got there, her parents greeted us all with generous smiles and cheerfully welcomed us. I spent such an enjoyable evening there, and her parents were just so nice!

Having a friend that fits the description of xenodochial is very special indeed.

Strong And Motivating Words That Start With The Letter X

A strong and motivating word is one that gives us a push to stay true to the course, and continue to pursue our goal even in the face of obstacles.

For a strong and motivating X word look no further than xena. I’m not referring to the warrior princess, but just the word on its own.

Someone who is a xena is strong and confident. They are brave and tough and will not be put down.

A xena will fight for what they believe in, and will not give up when the going gets tough.

If I am feeling like everything is lining up against me, and there are just too many negatives facing me, I take a moment and reflect on who I need to be to overcome the challenges.

I think of the xena I know I am, and I look inside of myself to find the courage to take on the obstacles, the naysayers, the disbelievers. Because really, the only person I need to believe in me, is myself.

Inspirational Words That Begin With The Letter X

I am a fan of the show X-Factor, and never missed it! I think a lot of people don’t realize that the term x-factor actually means the innate factor of talent or skills that a person has which makes them unique, and stand out from the crowd.

You can see why the show was named X-Factor. That was exactly what they were after - unique talent and skill.

Every week people would show their incredible talents! What is wonderful about a show like X-Factor is that many of these people are just regular human beings like you and me.

What is your x-factor? What makes you the unique person you are? We all have skills; we all have talents. What many of us are lacking is the self-awareness and the confidence to display those skills and talents in our daily lives.

That doesn’t mean we need to go down the street singing or dancing, but we should be showing our skills and knowledge in the workplace and tooting our own horn!

Positive Adjectives That Start With The Letter X

Adjectives are descriptive words. They provide information details about nouns which are people, places and things.

The letter X provides a tremendous selection of terrific adjectives. Let’s look at a few.

The first is a color word. All color words are adjectives. Do you have a favorite color or colors? I love the gem tones - greens and reds and blues. But if I had to choose just one color, it would have to be yellow.

Yellow is such a cheerful color. It is present in island sunsets, and in every rainbow. It stands out as a punch of happy color in our flower gardens.

The letter X happens to have a word for yellow. It’s xanthic. The next time you want to comment on something that is yellow, try using xanthic instead and see the impressed, maybe confused looks you get.

People may think that you are xaroncharoo which means exceptionally brilliant. Increasing your vocabulary is a good way to get smarter and become even more outstanding than you already are.

Those who are eager to learn and try new things are xenacious! Go for it!

I like to try to learn some of the Latin terms for the various plants because, hey, it’s another language and languages are totally cool!

Well, I have a word that you might want to add to your gardening vocabulary, xeriscape.

Positive Nouns That Begin With The Letter X

I am a big-time lover of music. Music has always been important in my family, and all of us had piano lessons growing up.

The piano is classified as a percussion instrument. So is the X word, xylophone. What is a xylophone you ask?

Think of a small keyboard, with wooden bars that are struck with a mallet - two mallets actually, one for each hand.

The xylophone’s bright sound is popular in a variety of music from classical and jazz to folk. It is often a central instrument in African music.

Another wonderful X noun is x-ray. The x-ray was invented in the 1800’s and is considered to be one of the great breakthroughs of medicine.

An x-ray is used to diagnose a break or a fracture. It allows the doctor to see the extent of the issue and the exact location. In this way the doctor can better set the bone, allowing the break to heal properly.

Xebec

Have you ever seen a xebec? It is not very likely although you might glimpse one or two if you are in Greece.

These ships were used basically as pirate ships!
