beguilers
Those who mislead
Beguilers are those who deceive or charm others, often through cunning or allure.
The word carries a sense of seduction—whether literal or figurative—suggesting someone who leads others astray through appeal rather than force: The beguilers promised easy riches.
A beguiler might be a con artist, a flatterer, or anyone whose charm masks ulterior motives.
