Gradually persuade (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coax

'gradually persuade' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for coax that I've seen before include "Flatter" , "Attempt to manipulate" , "lead not to get wires crossed?" , "Persuade; type of cable" , "Get round" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
