inveigle 引誘，欺騙

來自古法語avugle,使眼瞎，欺騙，來自拉丁語*aboculus,沒有眼睛，失去視力，來自ab-,沒有，oculus,眼睛，詞源同eye,inoculate.引申詞義引誘，欺騙，拼寫可能受inveigh影響。

inveigle: inveigle: [15] The French verb aveugler means ‘blind’ (it is a derivative of the adjective aveugle ‘blind’, whose probable source was the medieval Latin phrase ab oculīs ‘without eyes’). It passed into Anglo-Norman, with alteration of the prefix, as envegler, and English acquired this originally in the metaphorical sense ‘deceive’ – which in the 16th century developed to ‘entice, seduce, persuade’.
inveigle (v.): late 15c., "to blind (someone's) judgment," alteration of Middle French aveugler "delude, make blind," from Vulgar Latin *aboculus "without sight, blind," from Latin ab- "without" (see ab-) + oculus "eye" (see eye (n.)). Loan-translation of Greek ap ommaton "without eyes." Meaning "to win over by deceit, seduce" is 1530s.
