'enchanter' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'enchanter', where 'en-' served as a prefix and 'chanter' meant 'to sing'.

'enchanter' changed from Latin 'incantare' (in- + cantare 'to sing') into Old French 'enchanter', passed into Middle English as 'enchanten'/'enchanten', and eventually became the modern English noun 'enchanter'.

Initially, it meant 'to sing a spell' or 'to use chant-like words as a charm' (from the verb sense), and over time evolved into the noun meaning 'one who enchants' — i.e., a magician or someone who charms people.
