Entice, tempt (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

lure

coax

This clue is a double definition.

'entice' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'tempt' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

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

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