The first attested use of the word is from 1781 and means an odd person
There is a well-known myth about the word “X” that says that in 1791 a Dublin
theater owner named James Daly made a bet that he could introduce a word into
the language within twenty-four hours. He then went out and hired a group of
street urchins to write the word "X", which was a nonsense word, on walls
around the city of Dublin. Within a day, the word was common currency and had
acquired a meaning (since no one knew what it meant, everyone thought it was
some sort of test) and Daly had some extra cash in his pocket. However, there is
no evidence to support the story, and the term was already in use before the
alleged bet in 1791.
