Noun [Spanish]

IPA: /ˈbɾuxa/, [ˈbɾu.xa] Forms: brujas [plural], brujo [masculine], brujos [masculine, plural]
Rhymes: -uxa Etymology: Uncertain. Possibly from Iberian/Celtiberian *bruxtia (compare Catalan bruixa, Portuguese bruxa, Occitan bruèissa), from Proto-Celtic *brixtā (“spell, magic”) (compare Old Irish bricht (“charm”), Old Breton brith (“magic”)). It could instead be akin to a different Celtic word such as Old Irish Brigit (literally “high, exalted”).
