A person who entrances; someone who puts others into a trance state or deeply mesmerizes them.
From 'entrance' (to put in a trance) + '-er' (agent noun). Appears in 19th-century spiritualist and magic contexts to describe hypnotists and stage magicians.
Stage 'entrancers' (hypnotists) in the Victorian era were as popular as rock stars—they toured theaters claiming to unlock hidden powers in people's minds, which was basically psychology before psychology existed.
