The ability to attract or capture interest, attention, or affection; charm or appeal.
From Latin captare 'to catch or seize' (frequentative of capere 'to take') plus -ance, creating a noun indicating capacity or quality of capturing.
Captance is a lovely but archaic word—it describes that magical quality some people have to hold everyone's attention in a room, like a powerful gravitational pull!
