'non-magical' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'magical' which comes from 'magic', derived from the Latin 'magicus'.

'Magicus' transformed into the Old French word 'magique', and eventually became the modern English word 'magic', leading to 'magical'.

Initially, 'magicus' referred to the art of magicians, but over time it evolved to mean anything involving supernatural powers.
