magical
UK: ˈmadʒɪk(ə)l | US: ˈmædʒɪk(ə)l
adj. relating to or resembling magic; enchanting or supernatural
adj. possessing extraordinary charm or delight
The word "magical" derives from the Late Latin "magicus," which traces back to the Greek "magikos," meaning "of the Magi" (ancient Persian priests known for astrology and wisdom). The suffix "-al" (from Latin "-alis") transforms the noun "magic" into an adjective, emphasizing qualities of wonder or enchantment. Over time, "magical" evolved to describe not only supernatural phenomena but also anything extraordinarily captivating.
