bedazzlement

/bᵻdˈæzəlmənt/ noun

The characteristic of being bedazzled.

Word Origin Bedazzlement comes from 'bedazzle', which adds 'be-' to 'dazzle'. 'Dazzle' itself comes from Old English 'dæsian' meaning to become dizzy or blinded by light. So bedazzle is to dazzle thoroughly, and bedazzlement is the state of being utterly amazed or blinded by brilliance. The same root gives us dazzling and dazzlingly.
