Word origin
The word 'wizard' originated in the 15th century and comes from the Middle English 'wysard', which in turn is derived from the Old English 'wīs', meaning 'wise', and the suffix '-ard', denoting a person. Over time, the term evolved to refer to someone with magical powers or exceptional skill in a particular field.
