allured
Tempted with charm
Allured is the past tense of allure, meaning attracted or enticed by something powerfully appealing.
The word suggests being drawn in by charm, beauty, or the promise of pleasure: She was allured by the glamour of Hollywood, Investors allured by promises of quick returns.
Allure implies seduction rather than simple attraction—something magnetic and hard to resist.
