OP When I tried to look up "inelude" all I got was typos for "include". But it occurred to me
that I was not sure of etymology of "elude" so I looked it up. "lude" is from a Latin word
for "game" so "elude" means to get away from an enemy by being clever.
elude
vt.
e[lud4ed, e[lud4ing 5L eludere to finish play, parry a blow, frustrate < e3, out + ludere, to play: see LUDICROUS6
1 to avoid or escape from by quickness, cunning, etc.; evade
2 to escape detection, notice, or understanding by !his name eludes me"
—SYN ESCAPE
