In the Old Slavic alphabet the letter X was called "хѣръ" 'хер' [hehr].
🔻Its origin is not clear enough. One of the versions refers to Greek words like χαι̃ρε [hére] (rejoice), χείρ [hir] (hand) or еven 'херувимъ' (cherub).
🔻Anyway, this is where the word “похерить” came from, meaning “to cross out something on paper with a cross.” In this meaning it was widely used in classic literature by Russian writers.
🔻Now it's gained the meaning of a low colloquial word, even an obscene one, due to its similar form to⚠️ 'хер/хрен' (penis):
• Похерить (perfective,⚠️ low colloquial)
[pa-khe-rit']
Тo destroy, to spoil, to forget about something
Example:
• А он взял и похерил всю нашу работу за последнюю неделю!
[ah on vzyal i pa-khe-ril vsyu na-shu ra-bo-tu za pas-led-nyu-yu ni-de-lyu]
🇬🇧 And he has just spoilt all our work over the last week!
🎧🗣 👇 Listen, practice and try to not use it in your speech!
