ensorcerizing
adjective; derivation
Enchanting or bewitching in a hypnotic or otherwise captivating way. The affixes on this word mimic its synonyms; "enchanting" and "bewitching" have the progressive particle suffix and a prefix. However, to fit this pattern, Dillard first had to add the -IZE verb suffix, then she could add the other affixes.
Etymology : EN- + SORCER [SORCERY] + -IZ [-IZE] + -ING
