Derived from the verb 'bewitch', which combines the Old English prefix 'be-' (thoroughly, completely) with 'wicce' (witch). Dating back to the late Middle English period, it originally meant to cast a spell or practice sorcery, eventually evolving metaphorically to describe someone or something that exerts an irresistible, enchanting charm.
