One way to hold this word: something has been laid on you, and while it lasts you cannot move away. In a story that something is a spell, and the stays asleep. Outside the story the same shape is still there, only softer: a poem, a lane of lanterns, an old song holds you in place, and you stand there longer than you meant to.
From the word’s history
The source records the noun as coming through Middle English enchauntement from Old French enchantement, and the modern word still splits as enchant plus -ment, the act or the result of enchanting.
來源紀錄這個字經由中古英文 enchauntement，來自古法文 enchantement。今天它仍然可以拆成 enchant 加上 -ment，也就是「施法／使人著迷」這個動作，或它造成的結果。
