Etymology
The word 'enamour' originates from the Middle English term 'enamouren,' which was derived from the Old French 'enamourer,' meaning 'to fall in love.' This, in turn, comes from the Latin 'amor,' meaning 'love.' The prefix 'en-' adds the sense of causing or making, transforming the root word into a verb that conveys the act of instilling love or affection in someone. The evolution of this term reflects the universal human experience of love and attraction, transcending geographical boundaries and cultural differences. Its usage has remained relatively stable over the centuries, highlighting the enduring nature of love in literature and life.
