An archaic or poetic term meaning captivated, enchanted, or deeply in love with someone or something.
From French 'épris', past participle of 'éprendre' meaning 'to kindle' or 'to enamor', ultimately from Latin 'prendere' meaning 'to seize'.
The word 'epris' preserves a French romantic sensibility in English—it describes not casual attraction but being seized or taken over by love, as if your emotions have captured you.
