Word Origin & History
prestigious
1540s, "practicing illusion or magic, deceptive," from L. praestigious "full of tricks," from praestigiae "juggler's tricks," probably altered by dissimilation from praestringere "to blind, blindfold, dazzle," from prae- "before" + stringere "to tie or bind" (see strain
EXPAND (v.)). Derogatory until 19c.; meaning "having dazzling influence" is attested from 1913 (see prestige).
