Help finding words in Spanish that start with W and X and their origins (Latinismos, etc.)?

I need help finding two words with those letters and if they're latinismos, anglicismos, etc. I can't find anything on the origins of words that start with those two letters (my Spanish dictionary at home doesn't include them either) so I would really appreciate help!|||The only Spanish words I've found are very special ones:





xenobiolog铆a:


La palabra astrobiolog铆a viene del griego astron = estrella, bios = vida y logos = palabra/ciencia); ocasionalmente tambi茅n es llamada xenobiolog铆a (del griego: xenos = for谩neo)
