The word "enamour" originated from the Old French term "enamourer" (also spelled "enamourir") which means "to inspire love" or "to captivate with love". This Old French word was derived from the combination of the prefix "en-" meaning "in" or "to make" and the word "amour" meaning "love". The term "enamour" was first recorded in the English language in the 14th century, borrowed from the Old French, and has since been used to describe the act of arousing love or infatuation in someone.
