For those who do not know, there's an enemy in the Palace of the Dead called a Mimic, which can appear from a coffer at random. It uses an attack called Infatuate, which inflicts the player with Accursed Pox (HP regen stops, lower damage dealt, damage over time). Now looking up the meaning of Infatuation gives you this:

verb (used with object), infatuated, infatuating.
1.
to inspire or possess with a foolish or unreasoning passion, as of love.
2.
to affect with folly; make foolish or fatuous.


So...are the Mimics madly in love with us/have passion about us that it acts like a curse? o.O? Or is there another meaning to the word I missed? I'm trying to make sense of the attack name with the effect said attack causes.
