Is hocus-pocus called abracadabra?
The word is used as a magician's flourish, the casting of a spell (and is popular among children). Some dictionaries say its synonyms are hocus-pocus and mumbo jumbo. Thus abracadabra can be a highly charged piece of verbal magic, or it can be an entirely meaningless sound.Jan 17, 2017
