INVEIGLE Meaning and
Definition
-
Inveigle is a transitive verb that refers to the act of persuading, enticing, or luring someone by using deception, flattery, or trickery. It describes the action of manipulating or winning someone over through artful and cunning means in order to achieve a specific desired outcome.
When someone attempts to inveigle another person, they usually employ clever or deceitful tactics to coax the individual into complying with their wishes or falling into their entrapment. This can involve using flattery, charm, or manipulation to seduce or sway someone's opinion or behavior. The individual being inveigled is often unaware of the true intentions or ulterior motives concealed behind the flattery or persuasion.
Inveigle can also connote the use of sly or crafty methods to subtly influence or gain an advantage over someone. It implies a clever ability to acquire control or get the upper hand in a situation through subtle manipulation or cunning persuasion.
However, it is important to note that inveigle carries a negative connotation, as it suggests the employment of dishonest or misleading tactics to achieve one's objectives. It is often associated with deceitful behavior or a lack of integrity. Inveigling someone can be seen as underhanded or morally questionable as it involves the deliberate use of cunning to trick or deceive others.

Etymology of INVEIGLE
The word "inveigle" is derived from the Latin word "invelegalis", which means "ensnare" or "to hunt with a trap". This Latin term is a combination of "in", which denotes "into", and "vegere", meaning "to snare". Over time, "invelegalis" evolved into the Old French word "enveogler" (to blind, to delude) and then into the Anglo-French word "envegle", before ultimately becoming "inveigle" in English. The term "inveigle" first appeared in English during the 15th century, carrying the sense of persuading or enticing someone through deception or flattery.
