bewitchery

/bᵻwˈɪtʃɚɹi/ noun

The power of bewitching or fascinating; charm; witchcraft.

Word Origin Witch comes from Old English 'wiccian', to practice sorcery. Bewitchery adds the intensive prefix 'be-' (causing, making) and the suffix '-ery' to mean the art or practice of bewitching — casting a spell over someone. The same root gives us bewitch, bewitchment, and witchcraft, all weaving a web of enchantment.
