A rare or archaic verb meaning to transform someone into a wizard or to treat someone as if they were a wizard.
Formed from the 'be-' prefix (to cause or become) + 'wizard,' from Middle English and Old French 'wisard' (wise person), ultimately from Indo-European roots meaning 'to see' or 'know.' This is likely a back-formation or nonce word created by adding the productive prefix to an existing noun.
