magia

/ˈmaxja/ · A2 · noun · f

magic

🪄🎩 magia = magic with an -ia ending; from Greek mageia, the art of the Magi

Same root as English magic and mage: Greek mageia, the craft of the Persian Magi. Spanish keeps the Latin -ia ending. The g before i is the throaty Spanish j sound, so say MA-hya, not ma-jee-a.
