ravisher
One who seizes
A ravisher is someone who ravishes—either one who seizes and carries away by force, or one who overwhelms with delight.
The word appears in older literature describing abductors or rapists, but also in contexts of aesthetic transport: a ravisher of the senses.
The term sounds archaic in either use.
