Etymology: "Enticers" is simply the plural of "enticer," which is formed from the verb "entice" plus the agent suffix "-er," meaning one who performs the action. The verb "entice" itself comes from Anglo-Norman and Old French "enticier," meaning to stir up or incite, a sense that gradually softened into the modern idea of luring someone by charm or promise. Adding "-er" produced a word for whoever does the enticing.
