Etymology
The word 'lure' originates from the Middle English word 'luere', which means 'to entrap'. This term can be traced back further to the Old French 'leurre', which means 'something that entices or leads'. The concept of luring has evolved and is now widely used in various contexts, from fishing to marketing. Historically, luring often had negative connotations, as it implied deception or trickery used to capture something or someone. Today, it can be used in both positive and negative contexts, depending on the intention behind the action.
