Why “lenocinate” is a great word
LENOCINATE — [Verb] To entice or corrupt someone into engaging in immoral or lewd conduct, often acting as a panderer. From the Latin lēnōcinārī, 'to pander, to procure', from lēnō, lēnōnis, 'pander, procurer'. Unlike "procure," which denotes the logistical act of obtaining something illicit for another, or "solicit," which implies a persistent request, to lenocinate is to actively grease the slope of another's corruption. It is the whispered suggestion in a dim corridor, the staged introduction with a calculated glance, the slow poisoning of a conscience with the promise of easy pleasure—a dark commerce not in flesh, but in the ruin of resolve.
