a spell strong enough to make you forget you were ever free.
means A magical spell or charm cast over someone or something, or the dreamlike state of delight and wonder that feels like being under such a spell.
from From Old French 'enchantement,' from the verb 'enchanter,' which traces back to Latin 'incantare' — literally 'to sing into' or 'to sing upon' (from 'in-,' upon, plus 'cantare,' to sing). The image is ancient and exact: magic worked not by gesture but by voice, the spell sung or chanted over its victim. The same root 'cantare' gives us 'chant,' 'incantation,' and even 'cant,' so an enchantment is, at heart, a song you cannot stop hearing.
