Etymology
Fascinant came into Romanian from French fascinant, the present participle of fasciner, "to fascinate." French took the verb from Latin fascinare, "to bewitch, to cast a spell," which derives from the noun fascinum, meaning a spell or an object believed to ward one off. The Latin root itself has no securely established deeper origin, so no reliable Proto-Indo-European root can be given.
