Inveigle

Inveigle , transitive verb

[Probably from French aveugler to blind, to delude, Old French aveugler, avugler, avegler, from French aveugle blind, Old French aveugle, avugle, properly, without eyes, from Latin ab + oculus eye. The pref. in- seems to have been substituted for a- taken as the pref. French à, Latin ad. See Ocular.]

To lead astray as if blind; to persuade to something evil by deceptive arts or flattery; to entice; to insnare; to seduce; to wheedle.
Yet have they many baits and guileful spells To inveigle and invite the unwary sense. — Milton
