From Ancient Greek νεκρομαντικός (nekromantikós), from νεκρομαντεία (nekromanteía), or from νεκρός (nekrós, “corpse”) + μαντικός (mantikós), from μάντις (mántis, “soothsayer”). The spelling variant nigromanticus came up under the influence of Latin niger ("black"), mirroring the interpretation of necromancy as black magic.
