kiesaħ

Etymology
Probably from, in closely related 🇨🇬 also. This adjective is used in Morocco in the collocation. The sense “cold” could also derive from “hard” → “frozen” → “cold”, but this may be less likely given the extreme rarity of frost in the Maltese islands (as of 2019 unrecorded with standard instruments, the official record low being 1.4 °C). Alternatively, the Maltese adjective might be from, referring to cold winter winds.
