   Allure \Al*lure"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Alluded}; p. pr. & vb.
      n. {Alluring}.] [OF. aleurrer, alurer, fr. a (L. ad) + leurre

      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

                  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.
