bewitchment (countable and uncountable, plural bewitchments)
- The characteristic of being bewitched.
- 6 May 2023, Rachel Cooke, “It was ludicrous but also magnificent: the coronation stirred every emotion”, in The Guardian[1]:
- I would say that the spell – a bewitchment I’ve doubtless failed fully to capture – had broken by the time the family appeared, waxwork-like on the balcony, their majesties unable to enjoy the flypast in crowns that strained their necks and would not let them look up.
