喜樂美語
  1. 1雜誌（口語簡稱）

    A mag is a magazine: a thin book with pictures and short pieces, sold every week or every month. This is a casual short form. Friends say “Have you seen this mag?” Formal writing usually keeps the full word magazine. You will hear it in speech and see it in easy writing — a fashion mag, a music mag, a film mag. Though actually, the same three letters can mean other things in English, but in ordinary modern talk, if someone says “a mag”, they almost always mean a magazine.

From the word’s history

Clipping of magazine, from Middle French magasin 'warehouse', from Italian magazzino, ultimately from Arabic makhāzin 'storehouses'.

是 magazine 的縮短；magazine 最早來自阿拉伯文「倉庫」一字。

Wiktionary

組成A clipping of magazine: English just cut the word short. This sense is not from the nickname Mag, and not from Magnificat.
