Words said over someone or something, and afterwards it is not the same. A spell is laid on a mirror, a forest, a person — and whoever meets it is held, drawn in, unable to walk away. Every other use keeps the holding and lets the magic fade by degrees: a garden or a voice that holds you the way a spell would, and, in games, the spell put back on a real object with a number attached to it.
From the word’s history
Middle English enchaunten, from Old French enchanter, from Latin incantāre; a doublet of English incant. The oldest layer is words spoken over someone.
中古英語 enchaunten ← 古法語 enchanter ← 拉丁文 incantāre，和英文的 incant（吟誦咒語）是一對雙生字。最底下那一層，就是「對著某人把話唸出來」。
