I believe the answer is:

invite

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

'tempt' is the definition.
(I know that tempt is a more specific form of the action provoke)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for invite that I've seen before include "Ask round" , "Ask to one's home in friendly way" , "Request (someone to attend)" , "Draw" , "Ask (someone to visit)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
