What does ENTICE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To attract someone by offering the promise of pleasure, reward, or advantage.
Entice describes a gentle pull rather than a command, the kind of persuasion built from temptation instead of force, so a shop window can entice a shopper inside and a smell can entice someone into a kitchen. The word carries a faint suggestion that what is offered may not entirely deliver on its promise, which is why it appears often in warnings as well as advertisements. It comes from an old root meaning to set on fire, linking the idea of enticing someone to the image of kindling their desire.
