hypnotising
Putting under spell
Hypnotising is the British spelling of hypnotizing—inducing a trance-like state through focused attention and suggestion.
The word extends to anything that holds attention so completely it seems to cast a spell: The flickering flames were hypnotising.
A hypnotising voice or gaze captures and holds you, making everything else fade away.
