Etymology
The word 'mesmerize' originated from the name of Franz Mesmer, an Austrian physician who developed a theory of animal magnetism in the 18th century. Mesmer believed that he could influence people's health and behavior through a type of magnetic force. Over time, 'mesmerize' came to mean holding someone's attention in a powerful or compelling way.
