thôi miên (ai)Definition of hypnotize
hypnotizeverb
thôi miên
/ˈhɪpnətaɪz//ˈhɪpnətaɪz/"Hypnotize" comes from the Greek word "hypnos," meaning "sleep." This is because early practitioners of hypnotism believed they were inducing a sleep-like state in their subjects. The term "hypnotism" was coined in the 19th century by Scottish surgeon James Braid, who believed it was a distinct physiological state rather than a form of sleep. However, the root "hypno-" reflects its connection to the concept of sleep, hinting at the trance-like state often associated with hypnosis.
