Etim. dubjuża, biss hemm dawn it-tifsiriet li jagħtu ħjiel minn fejn ġejja din il-kelma: gala – rif. għal okkażjoni partikulari meta wieħed għandu jilbes b’mod pulit, u xint, li tista’ tkun qed tirriferi għal ‘xintilli’ – affarijiet li jlellxu (Tal. scintillare). It-tifsira l-oħra hi din: gola – M. gerżuma u cinto – M. madwar.
