Lives in, for example ... wantonly entices (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inveigles

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'entices' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'lives in for example wantonly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for inveigles that I've seen is " Influences by gentle urging".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
