Coax (6)
I believe the answer is:
cajole
'coax' is the definition.
(I know that coax can be written as cajole)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for cajole that I've seen before include "Persuade using flattery" , "Inveigle by gentle urging" , "'Coax, inveigle (6)'" , "Persuade by coaxing" , "Urge by gentle flattery" .)
