question of the day

The co-founder of company X thought of its name and was inspired by a "creek" or a narrow channel of water passing behind his house. The creek apparently shared its name with spanish for "sundries earth, mud and straw", a common building material in the area.

The English dictionary, however, adopted this word "X" as a type of clay used as building material, officially.

X, that often is used as an "expressly acrobatic reader", a firefly or an illustrator?
