Where it comes from

Inherited from Vulgar Latin *ammagīre from *magīre, *magāre, from Ancient Greek μαγεύω (mageúō, “cast a spell; bewitch”), from μάγος (mágos, “magical”); cf. also Latin magus. May be related to Catalan amagar (“hide”) and Spanish amagar (“threaten”), Portuguese esmagar, Sicilian ammagari, although this is unlikely.
