If you came under the spell of my glamour that would be quite natural.
Glamour is a Scots form of grammar, which goes back to the Ancient Greek for write, graphein. Think graffiti, graph for other derived words. The Greek verb was the origin of grammata = letters , from which we get the word grammar. The Scots dialect version acquired the sense of bewitchment or casting a spell.
“As soon as they saw her well far'd face, They coost the glamer o'er her.”*
But casting a spell is connected with German Spiel = tale and spelling is probably related. So if you know your spelling and grammar, chances are you can enchant people. **
