Isn't it an adjective? 146.229.182.44

I don't have the exact reference but I first saw this word in a CPU reference manual for the Buroughs 6700 computer around 1971.

Clark's law is not the origin of this term. It was used commercially in the '40s. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/66737/bring-back-thor-automagic-1940s-hybrid-clothesdishwasher 108.48.126.121 17:18, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
