Actually, most male witches prefer to simply be called a 'witch'.

According to the Arcade Dictionary of Word Origins, by John Ayto,
Arcade Publishing, 1991:
             Etymologically, a *warlock* is a 'liar on oath', and hence
a 'traitor' or 'deceiver'. Indeed, the word originally meant 'traitor'
in English. It soon broadened out into a general term of abuse, and it
was also used as an epithet for the 'Devil', but the modern sense 'evil
sorceror' did not emerge until the 14th century. It started life as a
compound noun formed from woer 'faith, pledge' (a relative of English
'very' and German wahr 'true') and -loga 'liar' (a derivative of
'leogan', the ancestor of modern English 'lie'.
