Since "quixotic" was coined with Don Quixote as its basis, why is it pronounced "kwicks-OTT-ick" when it should by rights/origin be pronounced "Key-HO-tick"?
It even sounds more onomatopoeiatic the latter way, as it resembles in its sonouroussonorous qualities "chaotic," which suits the subject.
Or is trying to make sense of English pronunciation a quixotic quest?
