The word "mesmerized" originated from the name of a famous Austrian physician, Franz Mesmer. In the late 18th century, Mesmer developed a theory of a universal fluid found in the human body that could be manipulated for healing purposes. He believed that by making magnetic passes over his patients' bodies, he could balance this fluid and cure various illnesses. This practice came to be known as "mesmerism" or "animal magnetism". Over time, mesmerism was associated with inducing a trance-like state or a sense of fascination and captivation in a person. Thus, the term "mesmerized" emerged, meaning to be deeply absorbed or fascinated by something or someone. The addition of "more" simply signifies an increased degree of being mesmerized.
