[1] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

automagically /aw-toh-maj'i-klee/ adv. automatically, but in a way
   that, for some reason typically because it is too complicated, or too
   ugly, or perhaps even too trivial, the speaker doesn't feel like
   explaining to you. see magic. "the c-intercal compiler generates c,
   then automagically invokes `cc1' to produce an executable."

   this term is quite old, going back at least to the mid-70s in jargon
   and probably much earlier. the word `automagic' occurred in advertising
   for a shirt-ironing gadget as far back as the late 1940s.
