No. Wicca is a religion, not a language.
I believe it's a verb meaning to bend or shape.
Wicca
Wicca is not a religion in the generally perceived sense of the word - it is a pagan spiritual practice.
Wicca!
When a person celebrates Wicca, they are celebrating their faith within it. Wicca is not only a religion, but it's a way of living, and most Wiccan's actually celebrate Wicca every day they are part of it.

No, the suffix "wic" in the words "witch" and "Wicca" does not mean to shape or bend. Instead, "wic" is derived from Old English "wicca," which refers to a male practitioner of witchcraft, and is related to the word "wicce" for a female practitioner. The meanings of these terms are more closely associated with magic and sorcery rather than the concepts of shaping or bending.
Well, the meaning of the word "Pagan" is an old English word for "valley dwellers". I know what you mean, but I just wanted to get that out of the way. By standards nowadays, Paganism is a generalized term covering many different pantheistic religions and traditions, including Wicca. A good way to understand that relationship is this: Lutheranism is to Christianity as Wicca is to Paganism. So, simply put, the answer to your question is "yes".
