What are some self describing words that start with x?

It's tricky to find self-describing words starting with "x" in the traditional sense. Here's why and some options:

The Challenge:

* Self-Describing Words: These usually refer to words that describe themselves, like "short" (a short word), "unbreakable" (an unbreakable word).

* "X" is Rare: The letter "x" is not commonly used at the beginning of words in English. This limits the possibilities.

Options:

* X-Rated: This is a self-describing term, as it refers to material deemed unsuitable for viewing by those under a certain age. However, it's not a typical self-describing word in the sense of the structure of the word itself.

* Xerographic: This describes the process of xerography, which is a photocopying method. While not technically self-describing, it does describe the process of making copies.

* You Could Create One! You could invent a word like "X-word" to describe itself. It's not a real word, but it's a fun example of self-description.
