The art of making someone's bad decision feel like their brilliant idea.
means The act of luring someone into desire, agreement, or action — usually romantic or sexual — through charm, persuasion, or enticement.
from From Latin seducere, "to lead aside" or "lead away" — from se- ("apart, away") plus ducere ("to lead"), the same ducere that pulls through duke, conduct, and educate. The earliest English sense was sober and moral: to seduce was to lead someone astray from duty or faith, a leading-off-the-path that smelled of betrayal. Only later did the word slip from the pulpit to the bedroom, where the leading-away became something the led often enjoyed.
