Etymology
Uncertain. Possibly of pre-Roman origin, or derived from a Gothic 𐌼𐌰𐌲𐌰𐌽 (magan, “be able”), perhaps through a Vulgar Latin *exmagāre (“deprive or take away power or strength”). Other less likely theories proposed include a derivation from Latin magus (“sorcerer, magician”), with an original meaning of "to hex, bewitch". Compare also Portuguese esmagar, Galician esmagar (“threaten”), which are likely related, or linked to maga[1], and Old French esmaier, Old Occitan esmaiar.
