Coax, entice (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tempt

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'coax' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'entice' is the second definition.
(I know that entice can be written as tempt)

(Other definitions for tempt that I've seen before include "Entice - persuade" , "Inveigle" , "Put to the test" , "Try to seduce" , "Try to persuade to do wrong" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
