hechizo
/eˈt͡ʃiθo/ · B1 · adj
spell, enchantment
🪄 From Latin facticius, made by hand, the same root as fetish and factitious
Latin facticius meant artificial or man-made. Portuguese feitiço, a charm or spell, gave English the word fetish. So hechizo runs from fake to magic spell: something made up that works on you.
