fascination

Fascination is when someone or something really catches your interest and you can't look away. It's that feeling when you're completely absorbed in something.

When people talk about being fascinated, they often mean that they're deeply interested in something for a reason other than just needing to know it. For example, if you see a talented street performer do magic tricks, you might feel fascinated by how they did the illusion. You'll want to watch them again and try to figure out their secret. This fascination can happen with all sorts of things – music, art, animals, or even history. If something fascinates you, it means that you're excited to learn more about it and experience it for yourself.
