Origin

Late 17th century (as a mystical word engraved and used as a charm to ward off illness): from Latin, first recorded in a 2nd-century poem by Q. Serenus Sammonicus, from a Greek base.

These days abracadabra is just a fun word said by magicians as they do a trick, but formerly it was much more serious—a magic word that was supposed to be a charm against fever and was often engraved on an amulet worn around the neck. Abracadabra was written so that it formed a triangle, beginning with ‘A’ on the first line, ‘AB’ on the second, and so on. It ultimately goes back to ancient times, first recorded in a Latin poem of the 2nd century ad. See also presto at prestige
