Usage

The construction these sort of, as in I don’t want to answer these sort of questions, is technically ungrammatical. This is because these is plural and needs to agree with a plural noun (in this case sorts rather than sort). The construction is undoubtedly common and has been used for hundreds of years, but is best avoided in formal writing. See also kind¹ (usage).

Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French sorte, from an alteration of Latin sors, sort- 'lot, condition'.

sorcerer from Late Middle English:
A sorcerer was originally a sorser. The word comes via Old French sorcier from Latin sors ‘lot, fortune’, the root of sort (Late Middle English). The Latin relates to the use of oracles and the casting of lots to foretell the future. A sorcerer's apprentice is a person who starts a process but is then unable to control it without help. This is the translation of the French L'apprenti sorcier, the title of an 1897 symphonic poem by Paul Dukas based on Der Zauberlehrling, a ballad written in 1797 by the German poet and dramatist Goethe. In this ballad the apprentice's use of magic spells when his master is absent sets in motion a series of events which he cannot control.
