Persuades lies given another way (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inveigles

'persuades' is the definition.
(inveigling is a kind of persuading)

'lies given another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lies'+'given'='liesgiven'
'liesgiven' with letters rearranged gives 'INVEIGLES'.

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

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