Etymology
The French noun *charme* derives from Old French *charme* “enchantment, spell,” which in turn comes from Latin *carmen* “song, poem, incantation.” The word migrated from the musical sense of *carmen* to a broader notion of magical or alluring influence, a shift that occurred in medieval French. By the modern era, it had settled into its current meaning of “attraction, allure, charm.”
