To captivate: To seize someone with charm or to attract and hold the interest and attention of someone.
Captive: One who has been seized and enslaved.
Captor: One who seizes and enslaves.
To capture: To seize or to get possession of something or someone, usually a criminal.
Capacity: The ability of something, like a box, to take a number of things or persons into it.
