mesmerismn.

Brit.

/ˈmɛzmərɪz(ə)m/, U.S.

/ˈmɛzməˌrɪz(ə)m/,

/ˈmɛsməˌrɪz(ə)m/

Forms: also with capital initial.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element; probably modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: proper name Mesmer , -ism suffix.

Etymology: < the name of Friedrich Anton Mesmer, Austrian physician (1734–1815) + -ism suffix, probably after French mesmérisme (1783).Mesmer settled in Paris in 1778 after accusations of fraud by physicians in his native Austria.

Now chiefly historical.

A therapeutic doctrine or system, first popularized by Mesmer, according to which a trained practitioner can induce a hypnotic state in a patient by the exercise of a force (called by Mesmer animal magnetism); the process or practice of inducing such a state; the state so induced, or the force supposed to operate in inducing it.Mesmer's claims were not substantiated by a scientific commission established by Louis XVI in 1784 including Benjamin Franklin and Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier. His techniques, however, had great popular appeal and were variously developed by other practitioners in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, ultimately forming the basis of the modern practice of hypnosis.
