WITCH
What witch means
A woman believed to have magical powers, especially one who practices sorcery or is accused of harmful supernatural activities, often historically persecuted during periods of mass hysteria.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "wicce," a feminine noun for a sorceress or enchantress. The root likely connects to Old English "wiccan," meaning to practice witchcraft or bewitch, though its deeper origin remains uncertain. Some scholars tentatively link it to Proto-Germanic roots related to bending or turning, suggesting an association with twisting or shaping through magic, but this connection is unproven.
