- 1（喻）神乎其技、高超本領；（本義）巫術、法術
Two connected meanings. The first is the plain one: magic — the kind of power a wizard has in a story. The second is the one you will actually meet more often, and it is a compliment: skill so good that it looks impossible. When someone fixes in ten minutes a problem you spent a week on, you call it wizardry. It is used constantly about technology ("digital wizardry", "software wizardry"), about sport ("his wizardry with the ball"), about cooking, about money, about anything where someone does something you cannot follow. Notice the feeling inside the word: it is , but it also says "I don't understand how you did that". That mystery is the point. If you can explain how it was done, it is skill; if you cannot, people reach for wizardry. It is uncountable — you say "some wizardry", "a piece of wizardry", never "a wizardry" or "wizardries". It is a warm, slightly playful word, common in news writing, sports commentary, and reviews. It is not formal, but it is not slang either.
組成wizard + -ry. The ending -ry names a practice or a body of skill, as in cookery, jewellery, and chemistry. Wizard itself comes from wise plus an ending — a wizard was originally simply "a wise one".
