   The witch cast a spell on the prince and he turned into a frog.

   A beautiful girl would have to kiss him to break the spell.

   Sleeping Beauty lay under the wicked fairy's spell until the prince woke her with a kiss.

2) a short period of a particular type of weather; a period of time for which an activity or condition lasts continuously:

   a spell of dry weather

   I keep having dizzy spells

▪ as a verb

1) to form a word or words with the letters in the correct order:
