Root Explanation

Enravish is formed from the prefix "en-" (meaning to cause to be in) and the root "ravish" (from Old French *ravir*, meaning to seize or carry away). The word "enravish" means to cause someone to be seized with delight or ecstasy.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'caused to be in' a state of 'seizing delight' — that's what enravish means.
