"bruxa" meaning in Portuguese

See bruxa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈbɾu.ʃɐ/ Forms: bruxas [plural], bruxo [masculine], bruxos [masculine, plural]
Etymology: Uncertain. Possibly from Iberian/Celtiberian *bruxtia (compare Galician, Mirandese, Aragonese, and Asturian bruxa; Spanish bruja; Catalan bruixa and 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”).
