Original entry ↗To attract by temptation, appeal, or guile. · To attract fish with a lure. · To recall a hawk with a lure.
Something that tempts or attracts, especially one with a promise of reward or pleasure. · An artificial bait attached to a fishing line to attract fish. · A bunch of feathers attached to a line, used in falconry to recall the hawk. · A velvet smoothing brush.
From Anglo-Norman lure, from Old French loirre (Modern French leurre), from Frankish *lōþr, from Proto-Germanic *lōþr-, perhaps ultimately related to *laþō (“invitation, calling”), or from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂- (“to hide”). Compare English allure, also from Old French. Probably related to German Luder (“bait”).
