Root Explanation

Enchanting → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be) and "chant" (from Old French *chanter*, meaning to sing). The word "enchanting" means causing to be under a spell or to be charmed, often through beautiful or delightful qualities.

Memory Tip

Think of 'singing' ('chant') that makes something 'come to be' ('en-') — that's why enchanting means something that charms or delights.
