Etymology
Hypnotizing comes from the Greek root hypno-, meaning 'sleep', and you can also see that root in hypnosis. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine something so steady or powerful that it 'puts your attention to sleep' and holds you completely, which is why hypnotizing means holding all your attention.
