Etymology:
Meaning:
To put under a spell or enchantment; to bewitch, charm, or fascinate.
Origin:
The word "ensorcell" originated in Old French in the 12th century. It is derived from the Latin prefix in- (in, on) and the noun sors, sortis (fate, lot, chance). The Latin word sors refers to the ancient practice of casting lots to determine the will of the gods or to foretell the future.
Over time, the word "ensorcell" came to be associated with the act of casting spells or enchanting something. It was believed that witches and sorcerers could use their power to control the fate of others or to manipulate their thoughts and actions.
In English, the word "ensorcell" was first used in the 13th century. It has since been used in literature, poetry, and everyday language to describe the act of bewitching, charming, or fascinating someone.
