Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Vulgar Latin *ammagīre from *magīre, *magāre, from Ancient Greek μαγεύω (mageúō, cast a spell; bewitch), from μάγος (mágos, magical); cf. also Latin magus. May be related to Catalan amagar (hide) and Spanish amagar (threaten), Portuguese esmagar, Sicilian ammagari,[1] although this is unlikely.
