In historic myth, legend, and folklore the ability to cast a glamour is a means of disguise. The current usage of the words actually stems from that, since those disguises were often unnaturally beautiful, with it first being a spell that cloaked someone in beauty and then in the late 19th-early 20thC the magical part of it dropped out of common use to become the way it is commonly used today. However, in terms of fiction, it still holds true to the original spell cast to deceive with a disguise (ugly, plain, and beautiful).
