I wondered if anyone here knew the origins of the English word "witch". I'd search through google but I don't really trust anything I find there.
I'm sure someone has already asked this, but I don't feel like searching through 16 pages to find it. If someone already did, just send me the link to the topic.
Thank you!! heart

According to my etymology desk reference, it has roots in the Saxon word Wicca.

missmagpie http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=witch&searchmode=none Very good online etymology dictionary. I consider that one more passable than “very good”. But we all know how picky I can be.
