Etymology
The term 'wile' comes from the Old English word 'wylian', which means to deceive or to entice. It has its roots in the Proto-Germanic *wลlล, meaning to trick or to deceive. Over time, the term evolved into its current form and usage in Modern English. The transformation of 'wile' into 'wiled' reflects the typical way English verbs have adopted past tense forms. Historically, the concept of cunning and cleverness in deception has been a part of many cultures, often featured in folklore and storytelling. As language evolved, words related to trickery took on new nuances, allowing for more specific expressions of deceit and manipulation, with 'wiled' embodying the concept of cleverness in enticement.
