Definitions

  1. possessing or using or characteristic of or appropriate to supernatural powers

Word origin

From Middle English wysard, wysarde, equivalent to wise + -ard. A uniquely medieval Anglo-Saxon word with no known morphologically exact cognates inside the Germanic family; did not gain distinct sense of "occultist, magic user" (as opposed to a philosopher or sage) until circa 1500s, aligning roughly with the starting English Renaissance.

Used in a sentence

  • The wizard conjured up a large fireball.
  • The wily wizard must be caught.
  • He found himself watching a couple of wizards doing what he at first mistook for the beginning of a dance, and then for a session of tai chi. But suddenly he realized they were signing.
