glamour

   Also found in: Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
glam·our also glam·or  (glmr)
n.
1. An air of compelling charm, romance, and excitement, especially when delusively alluring.
2. Archaic A magic spell; enchantment.

[Scots, magic spell, alteration of grammar (from the association of learning with magic).]
Usage Note: Many words, such as honor, vapor, and labor, are usually spelled with an -or ending in American English but with an -our ending in British English. The preferred spelling of glamour, however, is -our, making it an exception to the usual American practice. The adjective is more often spelled glamorous in both American and British usage.

glamour or US glamor
Noun
exciting or alluring charm or beauty [Scots variant of grammar (hence a spell, because occult practices were popularly associated with learning)]
