DISSUADE

PRONUNCIATION: (di-SWAYD)

MEANING: verb tr.: To convince someone not to do something.

ETYMOLOGY: From Latin dissuadere (to advise against), from dis- (away) + suadere (to advise), from suavis (sweet). Ultimately from the Indo-European root swad- (sweet, pleasant), which also gave us sweet, suave, hedonism, persuade, Hindi swad (taste), suasion, and incunabulum. Earliest documented use: 1535.
