Common Misspellings for BEWITCHING

Etymology of BEWITCHING

The word "bewitching" dates back to the late 16th century and is derived from the combination of two Old English words: "be-" which means "thoroughly" or "completely", and "wiccian" which means "to practice sorcery" or "to perform magic". The Old English term "wiccian" is also the root of the word "witch". Therefore, "bewitching" originally referred to the act of fully captivating or enchanting someone, much like how a witch might cast a spell or use sorcery to captivate or charm others. Over time, the word evolved to its contemporary meaning of something that is irresistibly attractive or enticing.
