Etymology of SPELLBIND
The word "spellbind" originated in the early 19th century and is a compound of two words: "spell" and "bind".
The term "spell" can be traced back to the Old English word "spellian", which originally meant to relate or narrate a story. Over time, its meaning evolved to refer to reciting words, casting magic, or even enchanting or captivating an audience. This word was used in the context of reciting stories and verses with a magical or binding effect.
"Bind", on the other hand, comes from the Old English word "bindan", meaning to tie or fasten together. It has retained a similar meaning over the years, implying the act of restraining or confining.
When the two words "spell" and "bind" were combined to create "spellbind", the resulting word represents the idea of captivating or enchanting someone through the power of words or storytelling.
