What spell means

A sequence of words or sounds believed to have magical power, or to form words letter by letter, or a period of time during which something continues.

Where the word comes from

From Old English "spelian," meaning to read out letter by letter or recite. This likely derives from Proto-Germanic "spellanan," related to Old Norse "spjalla," meaning to speak or tell. The sense of magical incantation developed later in Middle English, influenced by the idea of words having power when spoken aloud in a particular sequence.
