The word 巫术 is formed through the direct conceptual combination of its two components: 巫, which denotes a shaman, sorcerer, or practitioner of the supernatural, and 术, which means art, method, or technique. It is not merely a listing of two ideas, but a fusion where the second element defines the practice or craft of the first. Thus, the compound naturally and intuitively means "the art/method of the shaman", forming a complete, unified concept for magical or shamanistic practice.
