What does abracadavre mean?

"Abracadavre" is not a real word. It's a playful combination of two words:

* Abracadabra: A magical incantation or spell, often used in conjuring tricks.

* Cadavre: The French word for "corpse."

Therefore, "abracadavre" can be interpreted as a humorous or macabre reference to using magic to deal with a corpse or death.
