I have tried to solve this but in vain. Can someone answer this questions.
1) X is a peculiar word. It itself is an example of an X. Originally meaning a suitcase, it now has a meaning in no way apparently related to suitcases.But its development of its meaning over the ages, explains its current meaning.As like all English words this too has been borrowed from an European language. Its meaning in that language has changed over the years, from cloak-carrier to false friend.
Find X???

I don't know the answer, not sure if it's one of those riddles where it's an obvious answer you just don't think of or it's some crazy question only people who study the history of words would really know.
But, my advice would be to look up synonyms for suitcase, cloak-carrier, and false friend. And if you learn the answer please share.
