Etymology
Enchantress A helpful way to remember the second meaning is to see the same root in chant and enchant, from Latin cantare meaning 'to sing'. So an enchantress can be a woman who seems to 'cast a spell' with her charm or beauty, making her irresistibly and sometimes dangerously attractive.
