The WOW (Word of the Week) - enchant - means to 
fascinate, attract, captivate and enrapture. Likewise, enchant also means to bewitch and subject to magical influence (think the enchanted forest). Therefore, it makes sense that enchant has its roots in the Latin word incantāre (think incantation) which means to put a spell on.

Of course, if you aren't enchanted with the person, just say hi and keep it moving. ;-)
