When something happens enchantingly, it is so pleasant or attractive that it almost feels like magic — though actually people almost never mean a real spell. A smile, a voice, a view, or a piece of music can catch you this way: you want to keep looking or listening. The word is warm and a little ; you will meet it in stories and careful speech more than in quick chat. Older English leans on the magic picture (to enchant once meant to put a spell on someone). Today the meaning is looser and kinder: in a charming, delightful way. It is stronger than nicely, and sweeter than just beautifully.
迷人地、令人著迷地
組成enchanting (delightful, as if under a spell) + -ly (in that way). From enchanting + -ly.
