And here's where the word wizard came from,
Wizard
c.1440, "philosopher, sage," from M.E. wys "wise" (see wise (adj.))+ -ard . Cf. Lith. zynyste "magic," zynys "sorcerer," zyne "witch,"all from zinoti "to know." The ground sense is perhaps "to know thefuture." The meaning "one with magical power" did not emerge distinctly until c.1550, the distinction between philosophy and magic being blurred in the Middle Ages. As a slang word meaning "excellent" it is recorded from 1922.
