incantation (noun) -
: a use of spells or verbal charms spoken or sung as a part of a ritual of magic
Source : Merriam-Webster
Etymology : Incantation comes directly from the Latin word incantare, "enchant". Incantare itself has cantare as a root, which reminds us that magic and ritual have always been associated with chanting and music. Incantations have often been in strange languages; "Abracadabra" is a not-so-serious version of an incantation.
