The word hypnotic still means hypnotic in Greek mythology. It came from Hypnos, a Greek word, and also the Greek god of sleep.
The word "hypnotize" originates from the Greek word "hypnos," meaning "sleep." It was popularized in the 19th century when Scottish physician James Braid used it to describe a state of focused attention and suggestibility, distinct from sleep. The term reflects the trance-like state often associated with hypnosis, although it does not imply actual sleep.
