I think the word "Occlumency" must come from "occlude" (to block),
but does anyone have an idea where JKR came up with "Legilimency"?
And is there any significance to the name of the High Court being
name "Wizengamot"? That sounds like a Germanic word to me. And how
are these made up word supposed to be pronounced? I've been
pronouncing Occlumency as oc-CLU-men-cy, and Wizengamot as wi-ZEN-ga-
mot.
Any ideas?
