想象女巫用魔杖探水源，又能施魔法迷惑人——witch即“探测水源/施魔法”。
语域：mixed 常见场景：literary or poetic writing、fantasy fiction、water-divining practice 作动词时，witch 多用于文学作品或神话巫术语境，表示“施魔法”；在探水专业或民间实践中也有“用占卜杖探测水源”的意思，但日常口语较少见，实际更常用 bewitch 或 dowse 来表达。
这些词都以 /ɪtʃ/ 结尾，与 witch 押韵。注意拼写相近但不押韵的词：wish /wɪʃ/、with /wɪð/ 或 /wɪθ/、wit /wɪt/、width /wɪdθ/ 或 /wɪtθ/。另外，which 在多数口音中也读 /wɪtʃ/，但有些口音读 /hwɪtʃ/。
