From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Allure \Al*lure"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Alluded}; p. pr. & vb.
      n. {Alluring}.] [OF. aleurrer, alurer, fr. a (L. ad) + leurre
      lure. See {Lure}.]
      To attempt to draw; to tempt by a lure or bait, that is, by
      the offer of some good, real or apparent; to invite by
      something flattering or acceptable; to entice; to attract.
  
               With promised joys allured them on.         --Falconer.
  
               The golden sun in splendor likest Heaven Allured his
               eye.                                                      --Milton.
  
      Syn: To attract; entice; tempt; decoy; seduce.
  
      Usage: To {Allure}, {Entice}, {Decoy}, {Seduce}. These words
                  agree in the idea of acting upon the mind by some
                  strong controlling influence, and differ according to
                  the image under which is presented. They are all used
                  in a bad sense, except allure, which has sometimes
                  (though rarely) a good one. We are allured by the
                  prospect or offer (usually deceptive) of some future
                  good. We are commonly enticed into evil by appeals to
                  our passions. We are decoyed into danger by false
                  appearances or representations. We are seduced when
                  drawn aside from the path of rectitude. What allures
                  draws by gentle means; what entices leads us by
                  promises and persuasions; what decoys betrays us, as
                  it were, into a snare or net; what seduces deceives us
                  by artful appeals to the passions.
