N 402

convinced that the earth is round; he may be persuaded to travel round it; but persuasion is so largely
dependent upon conviction that it is commonly held to be the orator's work first to convince in order that he
may persuade. Coax is a slighter word than persuade, seeking the same end by shallower methods, largely by
appeal to personal feeling, with or without success; as, a child coaxes a parent to buy him a toy. One may be
brought over, induced, or prevailed upon by means not properly included in persuasion, as by bribery or
intimidation; he is won over chiefly by personal influence. Compare INFLUENCE.
Antonyms:
deter, discourage, dissuade, hinder, hold back, repel, restrain.

Perverse (L. perversus, turned the wrong way) signifies wilfully wrong or erring, unreasonably set against
right, reason, or authority. The stubborn or obstinate person will not do what another desires or requires; the
perverse person will do anything contrary to what is desired or required of him. The petulant person frets, but
may comply; the perverse individual may be smooth or silent, but is wilfully intractable. Wayward refers to a
perverse disregard of morality and duty; froward is practically obsolete; untoward is rarely heard except in
certain phrases; as, untoward circumstances. Compare OBSTINATE.

corporal both denote pertaining or relating to the body; corporeal signifies of the nature of or like the body;
