An attractive quality that pleases or fascinates others, or a small ornament worn on jewelry. It can also refer to a magical spell or incantation believed to have special powers.
From Old French 'charme' and Latin 'carmen' meaning 'song' or 'incantation.' Originally referred to magical spells that were sung or chanted, then broadened to mean any attractive or appealing quality that seems to cast a spell on others.
