Description
The word “Abracadabra” may derive from an Aramaic phrase meaning “I create as I speak.” and "I create like the word." The second lexeme in this supposedly Aramaic phrase must be a noun given the presence of the definite article on the end of the word. Regardless, this phrase would actually be pronounced ebra kidbara, which is clearly different from abracadabra. However, Semitic languages like Aramaic are not always hard and fast with the assignment of vowels, and abracadabra is similar enough to ebra kidebra, given the tendency of vowels to shift. In the Hebrew language, the phrase translates more accurately as "it came to pass as it was spoken."
The word may have originated as a way to remember the alphabet by pronouncing the first letters ABCD... It becomes more pronounceable and easier to remember by adding repetitive vowel "a" or "ra" sounds where there are none and adding an alliteration "bra" at the end. Writing and the alphabet were a form of magic to most people in those times.
