To seize or carry away; to capture the interest completely.
Archaic verb form combining 'en-' with 'rape' (Latin 'rapere', seize). Over time, this was replaced by the more euphemistic 'enrapture'.
Medieval English had a nastier vocabulary than we do now—'enrapt' and 'enrapture' basically meant the same violent thing initially, but 'enrapture' softened into purely emotional capture.
