Inveigle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coax

'inveigle' is the definition.
(I know that inveigle can be written as coax)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for coax that I've seen before include "lead not to get wires crossed?" , "sort of cable" , "Wheedle, persuade by flattery" , "Carefully manipulate" , "Attempt to manipulate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
