Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

From Late Latin abracadabra, a word used in magical writings, of unknown origin. Relationships have been suggested with Abraxas (a Gnostic deity), and with various Aramaic or Hebrew terms עַבְרָא כְּדַבְרָא (avra kedavra, literally “what was said has come to pass”), עַבְדָא כְּדַבְרָא (avda kedavra, literally “what was said has been done”); אַרְבַּע־אֶחַד־אַרְבַּע (arba-eḥad-arba, literally “four-one-four”), but there is little supporting evidence.
