One way to hold this word: a woman whose words take hold of you. She speaks, and what happens next is no longer your own choice — you stand still, you follow, you change shape. Everything the word does grows out of that one picture of a will being taken over.
Recorded as enchanter plus the older feminine ending -ess, reaching English through Old French enchanteresse and Middle English enchaunteresse. The base word is about putting a charm on someone, which is exactly the picture the modern word keeps.
來源記載是 enchanter 加上舊式陰性字尾 -ess，經古法文 enchanteresse、中古英文 enchaunteresse 進入英文。底層的 enchant 講的就是「對人下咒」，正好是今天這個字保留下來的畫面。
