glamoury
Spell of beauty
Glamoury is an archaic or literary spelling of glamour, emphasizing its origins in magic and enchantment.
In Scottish folklore, glamoury was a spell cast to make things appear different from what they are—fairies might cast glamoury to disguise themselves or their dwellings.
The word survives mainly in fantasy fiction: The fae's glamoury made the hovel appear a palace.
