Definition:
To bewitch is to hold attention so strongly it feels like enchantment. The influence can be charming, unsettling, or both, depending on what draws the gaze. Bewitching effects often feel subtle at first, then hard to shake once noticed. The word implies fascination that overrides ordinary caution. It captures the sense of being drawn in by something beautiful, strange, or unknowable.
