Identify the Feminine form of the Noun: Wizard

Identify the feminine form of the noun: wizard. 

A. Wizardess 

B. Witch 

C. Wizardette 

D. She-wizard

Explanation- Correct option is B.

The word,  ‘wizard’, the masculine form is more closely related to the word’s feminine form, ‘witch’ than any other given options.

In works of fiction, a male character with the ability to affect the world around him through the employment of magical abilities is referred to as a “wizard.” In fictional settings, a witch serves as the equivalent of a male wizard’s female counterpart. An example of this would be the statement that “the witch is known to utilize her magical talents to convert a person into an animal.” As a result, choice b is the one that should be made.

Although the term “wizardess” is frequently used to refer to a female wizard in modern times, it actually refers to very specific types of women who have the ability to utilize their magical abilities to change the content that is found on the internet. The phrase does not have the same level of popularity as a witch, thus it cannot be used interchangeably.

The names ‘wizardette’ and ‘she-wizard’ are not used in the English language and consequently alternatives c and d are wrong options.

Even if you are familiar with what the word “wizardess” means in its modern sense, you should avoid using it as a feminine form of the word “wizard.” The word “witch” is still the most common and widely used term for female wizards.
