köken: Possibly from Middle Chinese compound 呪符 (MC tsyuwH bju). Alternatively, coined in Japanese from Sinitic elements. First cited to a work from 1884.
köken: Traditionally connected to Ossetian мӕнг (mæng, “fraud”), Ancient Greek μάγγᾰνον (mángănon, “magic charm”) and derived from a Proto-Indo-European *meng- (“to beautify in a dizzying manner”), though this is not completely certain. See also मञ्ज् (mañj, “to be bright, cleanse”).
