fermecătorused colloquially as an adverbial intensifier, "enchantingly"Etymology
The adjective comes from the verb "a fermeca" (to enchant), which is built on the noun "farmec" (charm, spell). Farmec descends from Latin "pharmacum," itself borrowed from Greek "pharmakon," a word covering drugs, poisons, and magic remedies. The agentive suffix "-tor" was then added to the verb stem to form an adjective meaning roughly "that which enchants."
