Emily Dickinson Lexicon

SE-DUC-ER, n.

1. One that seduces; one that by temptation or arts, entices another to depart from the path of rectitude and duty; pre-eminently, one that by flattery, promises, or falsehood, persuades a female to surrender her chastity. The seducer of a female is little less criminal than the murderer.
2. That which leads astray; that which entices to evil. He whose firm faith no reason could remove, / Will melt before that soft seducer, love. – Dryden.
