Etymology
Romanian took "magic" from French "magique", which goes back to Latin "magicus" and Greek "magikos". That Greek word derives from "magos", a term for a member of the Persian priestly caste who practiced astrology and ritual. Some etymologists trace "magos" further to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to be able, to have power", linking it distantly to words like English "might".
