Etimología (Inglés)

In summary

Uncertain. Possibly of pre-Roman origin, or derived from a Gothic 𐌼𐌰𐌲𐌰𐌽 (magan, “be able”), perhaps through a Vulgar Latin *exmagāre (“deprive or take away power or strength”). Other less likely theories proposed include a derivation from Latin magus (“sorcerer, magician”), with an original meaning of "to hex, bewitch". Compare also Portuguese esmagar, Galician esmagar (“threaten”), which are likely related, or linked to maga, and Old French esmaier, Old Occitan esmaiar.
