Crossword Genius

Give line out to reveal lure (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inveigle

'lure' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'give line out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'give'+'line'='giveline'
'giveline' with letters rearranged gives 'INVEIGLE'.

'to reveal' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for inveigle that I've seen before include "Persuade by trickery - given lie (anag)" , "Coax, sweet-talk" , "Seduce" , "use enticements" , "Persuade by cajolery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
