Definition

Inveigling is a verb that refers to the action of persuading, enticing, or coaxing someone into doing something through cleverness, flattery, or deceitful means. It involves using charm, cunning techniques, or seductive tactics to manipulate someone's thoughts, feelings, or actions to achieve a desired outcome or advantage.
The term carries both positive and negative connotations, as it can imply artful and skillful persuasion or manipulation and trickery, depending on the context and intentions behind the act. Inveigling often requires the ability to present information or requests in a way that appears favorable, appealing, or enticing to the target individual, thereby enticing them to comply or fall into the persuader's trap.
This action can be applied in various scenarios, such as personal relationships, sales, negotiations, or even political campaigns. Inveigling may involve utilizing flattery, indirect approaches, deceptive language, or even promises of rewards or benefits in order to sway someone's opinion or actions.

However, inveigling may also border on manipulation and unethical behavior, as it involves the deliberate use of deceptive tactics to achieve personal gain or advantage. It is crucial to approach inveigling with caution and ethical considerations, as its employment can undermine trust, lead to exploitation, or create harmful consequences for others.

Etymology of INVEIGLING
The word "inveigling" is derived from the verb "inveigle", which can be traced back to the Middle French word "aveugler" or "envaigler", meaning "to deceive" or "to blind". From the Old French "aveugler", the term roots back to the Vulgar Latin "ab oculāre", which translates to "blinding". The word eventually entered English in the late 16th century, where it took on the meaning of "to entice, to seduce, or to lure through deception or flattery".
