More about 恍惚

恍惚 is the state of being so taken by something that one is lost in delight. The dictionaries give the word a second sense as well, senility.

恍惚 is composed of the kanji 恍 (read kō) meaning "unclear; senile; stupid" and 惚 (read kotsu) meaning "fall in love with; admire; grow senile".
