#Disenchanted (sequel to @Disney's @ENCHANTEDmovie) - no #SpoilerWarning Needed, because I Couldn't Spoil it if I Tried!
Yes, I'll review it below 'the emboldened word(s)' below (and I don't think I could spoil it, but it's worth 'watching before you read the details' (other than 'it's good!)); but first–after a mention of the free mining-software (giving us free Bitcoin in exchange for energy we're wasting anyway)–I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Disenchanted” is built of the prefix Dis- & the word #Enchanted. "Enchanted" (usually used as a synonym for "|Delighted") is built on ancient words that mean "to Sing Upon, -Into (Cast a Spell, |Charm, Bewitch, |Fascinate, Practice Sorcery Upon)."

Well, there's ONE way I could spoil it ... it's a "major twist" to her fulfilled wish that makes new home into 'a fairy-tale life'; but there's a sort of forewarning in the fact that she is (at the beginning of the sequel, and I think the end of the first movie) a #Stepmother!
The word “Stepmother (like #Stepfather #Stepsister #Stepbrother #Stepdaughter #Stepson and any other relative you're related-to through a parent's re-marriage)” is built of the prefix #Step- on the relation-name. "Step-" is built on ancient words that mean "to Push, Stick, |Knock (|Bereave, |Deprive, |Orphan, Loss ... see |Steep)"
(it originally referred to relationships between parents & children who'd been 'Pushed' into Adoption ... in fact, I think second-spouses actually do have to "Adopt" their new mates' children.)

Yes, wishing for 'a fairy-tale life,' Amy Adams' "Giselle" starts to become 'what ALL fairy-tale stepmothers are': Wicked.
For a second there, I started thinking, 'she's going through what ALL fairy-tale stepmothers must be going through! They have their hearts won by a king, they move into his castle; aren't they supposed to be living "happily ever after" now?'
