I'm looking for the original pronunciations and definitions of words like Allakhazam and Hocus Pocus. I've already found "abreq ad habra" (abracadabra).

Hocus pocus=hou.kos pou.kos, with the o's as a schwa (looks like an upside down e) or
like the 'o' in eloquent /ˈeləkwənt/
Neither alacazam, allakazam, nor allakhazam could be found in the Merriam-Webster, Oxford English, or Cambridge University dictionaries.

You could try the Oxford English Dictionary - I'm not sure if those words would be in it but the online version has great Etymology listings
