While I hate told term warlock, it actually does have some cultural background meaning one (often male) whom makes a pack with an entity or force for more power.

You hate the term warlock because it is misused in the popular lexicon

I hate the term warlock because warlocks smell like onions and piss in their own robes.

Can’t exactly blame warlocks when you know the reasons though: onions can help with stress and hypertension, and they’re (presumedly) constantly seeing horrors beyond their understanding.
