Is "wizard" Anglish-friendly?

I'd always strongly believed it to be so, but lately have come to know that the "-ard" suffix is actually from French. Even so, it was the word of choice of Tolkien, a known fan of Old English and its Germanic roots, and Wiktionary lists it as "a uniquely medieval Anglo-Saxon word" (though this seems to be more on how the word is built than anything). What do you think? As much as I love this word, it does sadly seem to fall a bit outside the ring of Anglish...
