μαγικός

Etymology: From Ancient Greek μαγικός (magikos), derived from μάγος (magos, 'magician'), originally referring to the Magi, ancient Persian priests who were believed to possess supernatural powers. The same root gives us English 'magic', 'magician', and related terms. The concept of magic and magical practices has been integral to Greek culture since ancient times, appearing in mythology, literature, and religious practices.
