Origin

Late Middle English (in the senses 'put under a spell' and 'delude'; formerly also as inchant): from French enchanter, from Latin incantare, from in- 'in' + cantare 'sing'.

  • Enchant is from French enchanter, from Latin incantare, which was based on cantare ‘to sing’. These Latin words gave us chant (Late Middle English), canticle (Middle English) a ‘little song’, and incantation (Late Middle English). The original meanings of enchant were ‘to put under a spell’ and ‘to delude’. Enchanter's nightshade (late 16th century) was believed by early botanists to be the herb used in potions by the enchantress Circe of Greek mythology, who charmed Odysseus' companions and turned them into pigs. See charm, incentive

Rhymes

aren't, aslant, aunt, can't, chant, courante, détente, entente, grant, implant, Nantes, plant, shan't, slant, supplant, transplant, underplant
