mystiquen.

Brit.

/mᵻˈstiːk/, U.S.

/mɪˈstik/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French mystique.

Etymology: < French mystique, use as noun of mystique (see mystic adj.), although parallel use in French is apparently first attested only from the early 20th cent.

1. An atmosphere of mystery, awe, or veneration surrounding a person or object, often imbuing it with an air of desirability; a mysterious or glamorous aura. Also: an air of secrecy surrounding a particular subject or activity, making it appear impenetrable to those without specialist knowledge.
