BEWITCHED Meaning and
Definition
-
Bewitched is an adjective that describes the state of being under the influence or power of a spell, enchantment, or supernatural force. Derived from the verb "bewitch," it refers to the act of casting a spell on someone or something to entrance, fascinate, or control them.
The term is typically associated with magical or mystical practices, often found in folklore, witchcraft, or occult beliefs. When someone is bewitched, they may experience a state of being transfixed, captivated, or enchanted, as if their thoughts, emotions, or actions are being influenced or manipulated by an external force. This can lead to a lack of control or agency over oneself, as if one's will is being overridden by an enchantment or spell.
Bewitchment is often depicted in popular culture through tales of witches and wizards who possess supernatural powers to cast spells on people, objects, or even places. In literature and media, characters who are bewitched may exhibit behaviors that are unusual, out of character, or contrary to their natural inclinations. It can also imply a deep emotional infatuation or obsession, akin to being under a love spell.
While the concept of bewitchment is mainly associated with magic and sorcery, it can also metaphorically describe a state of intense fascination or enchantment produced by something or someone who captivates and holds one's attention, as if they possess an otherworldly power over them.

Etymology of BEWITCHED
The word "bewitched" derives from the combination of two Old English words: "be" and "wiccan".
The Old English word "be" indicates "about" or "thoroughly", while "wiccan" means "to practice sorcery" or "to perform witchcraft". The word "wiccan" itself comes from the Old English noun "wicca", meaning "mage" or "sorcerer".
