===**Magic**:===

Origin: Graham Breed

~~The~~ "~~mag-~~" ~~prefix stands for~~ "~~major third~~."

Graham named it "magic" by analogy with miracle; he was listening to the Fleetwood Mac song "You Make Loving Fun" that uses the word "miracle" at the time. Later he coined the backronym "multiple approximations generated iteratively and consistently" also by analogy with miracle.
