witch[witch 词源字典]

witch: [OE] The close Germanic relatives of witch have died out, but it seems that it may be related to German weihen ‘consecrate’ and even, distantly, to English victim (etymologically ‘someone killed in a religious ritual’), so the word’s underlying signification is of a ‘priestess’. Wicked was derived from Old English wicca ‘wizard’, the masculine form of wicce, ancestor of modern English witch.
