The word "cajoling" dates back to the 17th century and its etymology can be traced back to the French term "cagoler". In turn, "cagoler" is derived from the French word "goguer", which means "to chatter like a jay". Over time, "goguer" evolved to "gajoler", meaning "to cajole or coax with flattery or sweet talk". Eventually, "gajoler" was anglicized to "cajoling" in English, retaining its original meaning of persuading or coaxing someone through charm or flattery.
