🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
The word derives from Medieval French 'sorcier', which came from Latin 'sortiarius', meaning 'one who divines by lots or fate'. Originally referring to people who cast lots to predict the future, the term gradually broadened to encompass practitioners of magic more generally.
Breakdown
Latin 'sors' (lot, fate) + '-iarius' (agent suffix denoting a person) = 'sortiarius' (diviner); later Medieval French 'sorcier' with the '-er' agent suffix.
