Dèxit

Dèxit is a term that appears in some Catalan-language texts and is associated with the concept of a successful result or favorable outcome. In standard Catalan, the principal noun for this idea is èxit, which denotes success in general use across various domains.

Etymology and relationships: èxit derives from Latin successus and is cognate with Spanish éxito, French succès, and English success. The form dèxit is not widely used as a standalone headword; when appearing in texts it is typically seen as a variant or in prepositional constructions, where the sense is “of success” (as in d’èxit) rather than a separate lexical entry.

Usage and context: In contemporary Catalan, èxit is the common term for a successful event, outcome, or achievement. It appears across journalism, business, sports, and culture to describe positive results, such as a concert, a campaign, or a project that meets or exceeds expectations. When referring to possession or attribution, speakers commonly use èxit within phrases like l’èxit d’un projecte (the success of a project). Some reference works note dèxit only as a less standard or historical form, with modern usage favoring èxit and the prepositional form d’èxit for the related construction.
