Etymology
The term 'inveigle' derives from the Middle English word 'enveigle', which itself stems from the Old French term 'enveigler'. The root of the word can be traced further back to the Latin 'in- (not) + vฤซculum (a small house or a prison)', signifying a sense of enclosure or entrapment. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent the act of leading someone into a trap through charm or deceit. The evolution reflects a darker twist on the notion of winning someone over, as it incorporates themes of manipulation and crafty persuasion.
