Enticed by price, half-cut (6)
I believe the answer is:
coaxed
'enticed' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'price half-cut' is the wordplay.
'price half' becomes 'co' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cut' becomes 'axed' (I've seen this before).
'co'+'axed'='COAXED'
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coaxed that I've seen before include "Cajoled, persuaded with soft talk" , "Persuaded gently" , "Wheedled, cajoled" , "Persuaded by fondling or flattery" , "Cajoled, inveigled" .)
