Best Answer

The origin of the word "mesmerize" is the 18th century German doctor and astrologist Franz Anton Mesmer. Mesmer's ideas and theories led to the discovery of hypnosis. To "mesmerize" someone is to dazzle them into a sort of trance, much like hypnosis. See the Related Link below for the Wikipedia entry.
