The word "enamored" traces back to Old French enamourer, derived from en- (a prefix meaning "in" or "into") and amour (meaning "love," from Latin amor). The suffix -ed marks it as a past participle, giving the sense of being "brought into love." Over time, it evolved to describe a state of deep affection or fascination, often with a romantic or idealized connotation.
