Warlock Defined
The Oxford English Dictionary defines the Warlock as a traitor or oathbreaker. Etymologically, a warlock is a "liar on oath," and hence a "traitor" or "deceiver." Indeed, the word orginally meant "traitor" in English. It soon broadened out into a general term of abuse, and it was also used as an epithet for the "devil," but the modern sense "evil sorcerer" did not emerge until the 14th century. It started life as a compound noun formed from woer "faith, pledge" (a relative of English very and German wahr "true") and -loga "liar" (a derivative of leogan, the ancestor of modern English lie). 'Warlock', in the sense of `a male witch', is Scottish Late Middle English and entirely derogatory; its root means `traitor, enemy, devil'; and if the very few modern male witches who call themselves warlocks realized its origin, they would join the majority and share the title `witch' with their sisters."
I am a Witch, NOT a Warlock. To quote Bugs Bunny, "Them be Fighting Words!!!"
