entice: entice: [13] Entice is an inflammatory sort of word. It comes ultimately from Latin tītiō ‘firebrand’, which was used, with the prefix in- ‘in’, to form the Vulgar Latin verb *intītiāre ‘set on fire’. This passed into English via Old French enticier, and originally retained much of the heat and vigour of its origins: ‘Your master is enticed and provoked by the Duke of Burgundy’, Richard Grafton, Chronicles of the Affairs of England 1568; but by the 17th century the process of softening from ‘incitement’ to ‘a(chǎn)llurement’ was all but complete.
entice (v.): late 13c., intice, from Old French enticier "to stir up (fire), to excite, incite," which is of uncertain origin, perhaps from Vulgar Latin *intitiare "set on fire," from Latin in- "in" (see in- (2)) + titio (genitive titionis) "firebrand," which is of uncertain origin. Meaning "to allure, attract" is from c. 1300. Related: Enticed; enticing; enticingly.
