About

The word 女巫 (wū, "witch") is formed through direct semantic combination: the first character 女 means "female" and the second character 巫 means "shaman", "sorcerer", or one who practices magic. Thus, it literally compounds to mean "female shaman/sorcerer", creating a specific term for a witch by specifying the gender of the magical practitioner.
