Word origin

From Middle English kex. Origin unknown; but compare Welsh cecys (“hollow stalks”) and Welsh cegid (“hemlock”), apparently from the same source as Latin cicūta (“hemlock”).

Used in a sentence

  • "I suppose you'll want a dish o' tay, or victuals of some sort, hey? […] I should be as dry as kex wi' travelling so far."
