About
The word "魔法" is formed by combining the character "魔", meaning devil or supernatural force, which is a phono-semantic compound composed of the semantic radical "鬼" (ghost/demon) and the phonetic component "麻" (má), with the character "法", meaning law or method, historically derived from elements representing water and departure to imply standard practice. Together, "魔" conveys the magical or demonic aspect, and "法" conveys the systematic technique, resulting in the compound meaning "magic" as a structured art or sorcery.
