Origin of the word enchantment

"Enchantment" traces its roots back to the Latin word "incantare," which means "to sing a magic spell" or "to charm." The "in-" prefix emphasizes the intensity or "inward" nature of the magic, while "cantare" refers to singing or chanting. Over time, "incantare" evolved into "enchanter" in Old French, then "enchantment" in Middle English, signifying a state of being charmed or spellbound. The word retains its magical connotations even today.
