Etymology[edit]
Unknown: derivations from maga, magus (“magician”) + -ulus and from māla (“cheekbone, jaw”)[1] have been proposed but are not widely accepted. Attested only in the scholia on Juvenal; since the word appears in the accusative case, it may instead be masculine magulus.[2]

- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈma.ɡu.lum/, [ˈmäːɡulum]
