Attracted or tempted someone to do something by offering something appealing or desirable.
From Old French 'enticier,' possibly from Latin 'in' (into) combined with a root meaning to kindle or stir. The word originally meant to excite or provoke.
Entice and 'incite' look similar and come from the same Latin root, but entice tempts you toward something (usually good on the surface), while incite pushes you toward action (often negative)—a subtle but important nuance!
