The OED writes: "The etymology of post-classical Latin abracadabra has been the subject of much conjecture; no documentation has been found to support any of the various conjectures which have been put forward. Some have suggested an origin within Latin or Greek...[others try] to derive the word from Hebrew or Aramaic, supporting evidence is lacking"
