When you see the word "rapture," you know you're dealing with a pleasure so great it borders on the divine. The Rapture is, after all, what believers call the time when Jesus is meant to return and take them all to Heaven. So when someone enraptures another person, they're creating a feeling of wonder, enchantment, and delight that recalls that heavenly feeling.
