The word "witch" originates from the Old English term "wicce," which referred to a female practitioner of witchcraft, and "wicca," the male counterpart. These terms are derived from the Proto-Germanic root "*wikkjaz," meaning "to bend" or "to shape," reflecting the idea of manipulating or altering reality through magical means. Over time, the term evolved in various languages and cultures, becoming associated with both male and female figures involved in sorcery and magic.
