Word origin

The word 'conjure' derives from the Latin 'conjurare,' which means 'to swear together' or 'to call upon.' This Latin term is a combination of 'con-' (together) and 'jurare' (to swear). Over time, it evolved in Middle English to become 'conjuren,' which signified the invoking of spirits or using of magic. The term is frequently associated with practices of magic and illusion, illustrating the interplay between religion, superstition, and theatrical performance throughout history. By the 16th century, 'conjure' was commonly used in English literature, often in relation to witchcraft, alchemy, and the summoning of supernatural beings. As such, its usage has remained closely tied to themes of fantasy and the unknown, showcasing humanity's fascination with the mystical and arcane.
