black artn.

Brit.

/blak ˈɑːt/, U.S.

/blæk ˈɑrt/

Forms: see black adj. and n. and art n.¹ also with capital initials.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: black adj., art n.¹

Etymology: < black adj. + art n.¹ In sense 1 apparently with reference to the dark and secret nature of the magician's art, or to the popular belief in the association of the magician with the devil (compare the chiefly negative connotations of uses of black adj. II.). However, compare Middle Low German swarte kunst ( > Old Swedish swarta konst , Swedish svarta kunst ), German schwarze Kunst (Middle High German (in late sources) swarziu kunst ) and post-classical Latin nigromantia nigromancy n.; it is possible that the Middle Low German, German, and English terms may show partial calques on post-classical Latin nigromantia, which was folk-etymologically associated with classical Latin niger ‘black’ early on.

a. The art of performing supernatural or magical acts; magic, necromancy; witchcraft. Also in plural. Cf. black magic n. at black adj. and n. Compounds 1e(a).Sometimes said to be made possible by communicating with the devil, or with the spirits of the dead.
