Definition
The act of conjuring; an incantation, spell, or magic trick performed through words or gestures.
Etymology
From Old French 'conjuraison' and Latin 'coniuratio', derived from 'coniurare' meaning to swear together. The '-tion' suffix marks it as a noun describing an action or process.
Kelly Says
This is a medieval word that would've been used to describe both actual magical rituals that people believed in AND the tricks performed by entertainers—it perfectly captures a time when audiences weren't always sure if magic was real or fake!
