Etymology of ENTHRAL

The word "enthral" has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old English word "þrǣlian" or "þrēlian". This Old English word meant "to hold in thrall" or "to enslave", and is related to the Old Norse word "þrǣla" which translates to "slave". Over time, the word evolved and became more commonly used in the sense of captivating or captivating someone's attention, rather than the literal act of enslaving.
