   syn: to attract; entice; tempt; decoy; seduce.

   usage: to allure, entice, decoy, seduce. these words
          agree in the idea of acting upon the mind by some
          strong controlling influence, and differ according to
          the image under which is presented. they are all used
          in a bad sense, except allure, which has sometimes
          though rarely a good one. we are allured by the
          prospect or offer usually deceptive of some future
          good. we are commonly enticed into evil by appeals to
          our passions. we are decoyed into danger by false
          appearances or representations. we are seduced when
          drawn aside from the path of rectitude. what allures
          draws by gentle means; what entices leads us by
          promises and persuasions; what decoys betrays us, as
          it were, into a snare or net; what seduces deceives us
          by artful appeals to the passions.
