raptness
State of captivation
Raptness is the state of being completely absorbed or entranced.
It describes the quality of total, focused attention—when someone is so captivated by something that they're unaware of their surroundings: She listened with raptness as the old man told his story.
The word suggests a kind of transported stillness, as if held spellbound.
