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.
