hey so did you guys know that grammar and glamour used to be the same word? Back in medieval Europe, "grammar" wasn't just sentence structure, it meant learned knowledge in general. And most of that knowledge lived in Latin books almost nobody could read, it included stuff like astrology and magic. So a scholar deep in his books could genuinely look one rumor away from being called a sorcerer. Oh and this is the part I didn't expect, in Scots, "grammar" turned into "glamer." Apparently two r's sitting close together was awkward to pronounce, so one of them softened into an l sound (linguists call it dissimilation, if you're curious). By 1715, "glamer" specifically meant a spell that changed what someone saw. Then Walter Scott used the word "glamour" in a poem in 1805, and it carried over into wider English. By the mid-1800s the meaning had shifted, from literal magic to just... alluring, charming, romantic. Fashion and beauty picked that meaning up and never gave it back. So yeah. Next time something's "glamorous", that's not just a compliment, that's a little leftover spell.
