The 'x' suffix is aviation speak for an abbreviated word called a contraction. Some are defined in manuals or advisory circulars. For example, WX is weather as defined in an old advisory circular, AC00-45.

Official or not, a few others that come to mind are:

MX - maintenance
CX - cancel
TX - transmit
RX - receive

Maybe others will chime in the comments with more lore.
