Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the noun 'spell' (referring to a magical formula or incantation) combined with 'bound' (the past participle of 'bind', meaning tied or restricted). First appearing in the late 16th century, the term originally literalized the notion of being physically or spiritually restrained by witchcraft before shifting to denote intense psychological captivation.
