Etymology of ENCHANTED

The word "enchanted" can be traced back to the Old French word "enchanter", which itself derived from the Latin word "incantare". "Incantare" can be broken down into two parts: "in", meaning "in" or "into", and "cantare", meaning "to sing". In ancient times, spells or charms were often chanted or sung, and this idea of captivating through magical utterances or spells is reflected in the word "enchanted". Over time, "enchanter" evolved to "enchanted" in English, referring to the state of being under a spell or experiencing a magical or captivating influence.
