What does SEDUCE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To tempt or lure someone into something, often something unwise, by charm or attraction.
Seduce most often refers to winning someone over romantically or sexually, but it works just as well for advertising, money or comfort that pulls a person from a sensible course. The Latin roots mean to lead away, which captures the idea of being drawn off from what one meant to do. It carries a hint of manipulation, so it is rarely used as pure praise.
