From the word’s history
From magic + wand.
由 magic「魔法」加 wand「棒子」組成。
Picture one easy sweep of a thin stick through the air — and the problem is simply gone. No lifting, no waiting, no explanation. Both uses on this page live inside that single wave: on a stage or in a story it is the real thing in someone's hand, and in ordinary talk it is the answer that would work like that, which is nearly always the answer nobody has.
「magic wand」可以想成空中輕輕一揮：棍子劃過去，麻煩就這樣不見了。不用搬、不用等、也不用解釋。這一頁的兩個用法都住在這一揮裡——在舞台上或故事裡，它是真的握在手上的那根棍子；在日常說話裡，它變成「要是有這種辦法就好了」，而那種辦法通常並不存在。
