lured

'drew' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'latin university radical' is the wordplay.
'latin' becomes 'l'.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'radical' becomes 'red' (I've seen this in other clues).
'l'+'u'+'red'='LURED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lured that I've seen before include "Tempted or enticed" , "Seduced" , "was enticing" , "Attracted" .)
