Etymology

The word "glamorous" traces back to the Scottish variant "glamour," meaning "a magic spell" (18th century), derived from a mispronunciation of "grammar." In medieval Europe, literacy was rare, and "grammar" was associated with occult knowledge. By the 19th century, "glamour" evolved to mean "enchanting charm," and the suffix "-ous" (from Latin "-osus") was added to form the adjective, emphasizing allure or artificial attractiveness.
