Etymology

The word 'mesmerize' comes from the name of Franz Mesmer, an 18th-century German physician with an interest in hypnosis and animal magnetism. Mesmer believed that a magnetic fluid was present in the bodies of all living things and that he could manipulate this fluid to induce a trance-like state in his patients. Over time, 'mesmerize' has come to signify captivating or hypnotizing someone in a more figurative sense.
