.. and by default when ls is passed the name of a directory, it
will how you its name, followed by a ":", then list its contents:

> $ ls /etc/x*

.. expands to 

$ ls /etc/xemacs21 /etc/xlogmaster /etc/xmcd

before ls even sees it.

You can force ls to shown only directy's name with -d:

$ ls -d /etc/x*
/etc/xemacs21     /etc/xlogmaster       /etc/xmcd
