The "x" is not an abbreviation of another word. It's the "x" from algebra,
which refers to any unknown quantity. Wilhelm Roentgen did not know
what had passed through his hand and accidentally produced an image
of the bones in his hand on a nearby piece of film, and he referred to
whatever it was as "X strahlen" ... German for "X rays" where 'X' means
'unknown'. In Europe X-rays are known as Roentgen rays.
X-Radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of
0.01 to 10 nanometers.
Originally, the term meant something like "an unknown ray" of some kind. The "X" ray or unknown ray was investigated by a number of early scientists. Wilhelm Röntgen was one of them, and he referred to the radiation in this way (as an "X-ray"). And that name stuck, though in many different languages the X-ray is referred to as Röntgen waves.
