Why “enravishment” is a great word
ENRAVISHMENT — [Noun] The state of being transported by overwhelming delight or rapture. Formed within English from the verb 'enravish' (meaning to enrapture or transport with delight) and the suffix '-ment' (denoting an action, state, or resulting condition). First attested in 1656. Unlike “enchantment,” which suggests a spell cast from without, or “transport,” which can denote a mere conveyance of goods, enravishment is the interior event of being utterly taken. It is the caught breath before a sublime vista, the suspended moment in a perfect phrase of music, the stillness of complete absorption in another’s eyes—a willing captivity from which one has no desire to be ransomed.
