When someone or something is beguiling, they possess the ability to attract and hold one's attention or interest, but with the underlying intention of achieving personal gain or ulterior motives.
A beguiling person or situation can often have a seductive quality that lures others in, making them vulnerable to manipulation or deception. It involves the use of clever or cunning tactics to cast a spell-like effect on individuals, leading them to believe or trust something that may not necessarily be true or beneficial. This can be seen in various contexts, such as in interpersonal relationships, marketing strategies, or political campaigns.
