Morphology
fascinate = fascin + ate
The verb is formed from the non-productive combining form 'fascin-' plus the learned suffix '-ate'; 'fascin' is not a standalone English word, so learners cannot transparently derive the meaning from familiar components.
Etymology
The word fascinate comes from the old Latin verb fascinare, which meant 'to bewitch' or 'to cast a spell'. So, to be fascinated is like being under a small 'spell' that grabs and keeps your attention.
