Does anyone know where the term "warlock" came from and what it actually means?

"Warlock"...I can't remember what language it was, but it meant "oath breaker" or "truth twister" and is quite a derrogatory term. Unfortunately, my knowledge on this is limited...

If someone else has more in-depth info, it would be most appreciated.

I've read somewhere online, that if someone broke or left the covent they were in, they were called a 'warlock.' I don't know how true this is, but it's just what I've read.

On a side note, there is no seperation between male and female witches, they are both called witches. The only reason, I believe, a seperation came about was because of Hollywood and how Puritans, Catholics, Christians, ect... believed it was more plausible for a women to make a 'pact with the devil,' for that is what they believed a witch did, then a man.
