Greetings dear Fred,

It is just as sharp as the answer of Ray.

I could have sworn master(y) came from the Saxon word "maest"=most. But
the dictionary says it comes from the Latin "magister"=boss. Yet there is
stil hope because "magis"=more in Latin. Check the spelling because
"magos"=wizard.

In Greek "magikos"=magic.

Conclusion?

Mastery is magic.

With care and best wishes
