Allecient
*Allicient*
*Meaning*: Attractive, tempting, or enticing. Something that draws you in and makes you want it.
It’s not a super common word today — “alluring” or “enticing” are used more.
Pronounced: _uh-LISH-ent_
From Latin _allicere_ = "to attract, entice"
*Sentence*:
The *allicient* aroma of fresh bread from the bakery made him forget his diet.
*Other examples*:
- She was offered an *allicient* deal: double salary and remote work.
- The *allicient* glow of the city at night kept them walking for hours.
*Quick way to remember*:
Allicient = *A*ttr*al* + *lic*k your lips + *ent*icing. If it’s allicient, you want it.
