to use a conjurer's tricks : juggle
conjure up想起,使在脑海中显现;用魔法召唤
13世纪晚期,“宣誓命令”; 1300年左右,“以神圣的名义召唤,用咒语或魔法召唤”,源自古法语 conjurer “召唤,祈求”(12世纪)和直接源自拉丁语 coniurare “一起宣誓; 密谋”,来自 com “与,一起”(见 con-) + iurare “宣誓”,来自 ius(属格 iuris)“法律,誓言”(见 jurist)。
魔法意义来自于“用咒语约束恶魔”来执行自己的命令。相关词汇: Conjured; conjuring。短语 conjure up “使在脑海中出现”(仿佛通过魔法)可追溯至1580年代。
Middle English, from Anglo-French conjurer, from Latin conjurare to join in taking an oath, from com- + jurare to swear — more at jury
The first known use of conjure was in the 13th century
