The term “X” itself originated in the 16th century. One of the first written accounts of it was in Shakespeare’s  The Merry Wives of Windsor when the character demands – “Go fetch me a quart of sack; put a X in’t.” To translate, he’s asking for a great deal of wine with a piece of (literal) X in it.Over the coming centuries, the term “X”, in English, slowly transformed to incorporate traditional libations and the honoring of people.
