encantador

/enkantaˈdoɾ/ · A2 · adj

charming, captivating, enchanting, lovely

🪄 encantador = encantar (to enchant) + -dor (-er): an enchant-er

Same Latin root as English enchant and incantation: incantare, to sing a spell over. The ending -dor marks the doer, like -er in English. Encantado (delighted to meet you) is the same verb, so an encantador is one who leaves you encantado.
