encanto

Magic in Spanish

Encanto is a Spanish word meaning charm, enchantment, or delight that has crossed into English usage, particularly after the 2021 Disney film of the same name.

It conveys a sense of magical appeal or captivating quality: The old village had a certain encanto that kept tourists coming back.

In Spanish-speaking contexts, calling someone or something an encanto suggests they are delightful or wonderful.
