Plural of bewitchment; instances of casting magical spells on someone or the state of being under a spell that makes you fascinated or enchanted by something.
From 'bewitch' (be- + witch), combining Old English 'be-' (causative prefix) with 'witch' from Old English 'wicce' (woman believed to practice witchcraft). The suffix '-ment' converts it to a noun meaning 'the act or result of.' Over time it evolved from literal spell-casting to mean any powerful attraction or charm.
