Deceive
(gcide) | Deceive \De*ceive"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Deceived; p. pr. &
vb. n. Deceiving.] [OE. deceveir, F. d['e]cevoir, fr. L.
decipere to catch, insnare, deceive; de- + capere to take,
catch. See Capable, and cf. Deceit, Deception.]

disbelieve what is true; to impose upon; to mislead; to
cheat; to disappoint; to delude; to insnare.

Syn: Deceive, Delude, Mislead.
Usage: Deceive is a general word applicable to any kind of
misrepresentation affecting faith or life. To delude,
primarily, is to make sport of, by deceiving, and is
accomplished by playing upon one's imagination or
credulity, as by exciting false hopes, causing him to
undertake or expect what is impracticable, and making
his failure ridiculous. It implies some infirmity of
judgment in the victim, and intention to deceive in
the deluder. But it is often used reflexively,
indicating that a person's own weakness has made him
the sport of others or of fortune; as, he deluded
himself with a belief that luck would always favor
him. To mislead is to lead, guide, or direct in a
wrong way, either willfully or ignorantly.
