Root Explanation

Enrapture → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be in) and "rapture" (from Latin "raptura", meaning a carrying away or seizing). The word "enrapture" means to cause someone to be in a state of intense joy or delight, as if they are carried away by their emotions.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'carried away' ('raptura') into a state of joy or delight when you are 'caused to be in' that feeling ('en-').
