Phrases

a name to conjure with

Origin

Middle English (also in the sense 'oblige by oath'): from Old French conjurer 'to plot or exorcise', from Latin conjurare 'band together by an oath, conspire' (in medieval Latin 'invoke'), from con- 'together' + jurare 'swear'.

The earliest meanings of conjure were ‘to call on in the name of some divine or supernatural being’ and ‘to appeal solemnly to, entreat’—the -jure bit of the word is from Latin jurare ‘to swear’, which gave us words such as jury. A more familiar early meaning was ‘to call on a supernatural being to appear by means of a magic ritual’, from which the sense ‘to make something appear as if by magic’ developed. A name to conjure with comes from the idea of someone summoning the spirit of an influential or powerful person by saying their name out loud.
