'enchant' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'enchanter,' where 'en-' meant 'in' and 'chanter' meant 'to sing.'

'enchanter' transformed into the Middle English word 'enchaunten,' and eventually became the modern English word 'enchant.'

Initially, it meant 'to sing or chant a spell,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to delight or captivate.'
