brujo

/ˈbɾuxo/ · B1 · noun · m

enchantress

brujo — enchantress

🧙 Sounds like BREW-ho: a warlock is the one brewing potions

Say it BROO-ho; the Spanish j is a throaty h, as in loch. The feminine form, bruja, means witch. The word probably comes from a language spoken in Iberia before Latin, and Portuguese and Galician bruxo come from the same root.
