Etymology of AUTOMAGIC

The term "automagic" is a blend of two words: "automatic" and "magic". "Automatic" derives from the Greek word "automatos", meaning "self-moving" or "self-acting". It entered English through French in the early 18th century, originally referring to something capable of self-acting or self-regulating.

On the other hand, "magic" originates from the Old Persian word "magus", which referred to a Zoroastrian priest or magician. This term passed through various languages, including Greek and Latin, before entering English in the 14th century. "Magic" generally pertains to supernatural or extraordinary powers, often associated with sorcery, enchantments, or illusions.

By combining these two words, "automagic" was created to describe something that seemingly operates on its own or appears magical in its functioning.
