Coaxed

/kəʊkst/

प्यार से मनाया; धीरे-धीरे राज़ी किया; मनुहार करके करवा लिया

Origin & History

From the verb “coax” (16th–17th century), of uncertain origin; possibly related to earlier dialect/colloquial uses meaning “to wheedle or deceive,” with later sense focusing on gentle persuasion.

“Coax” क्रिया (16वीं–17वीं शताब्दी) से, जिसकी उत्पत्ति निश्चित नहीं मानी जाती; संभवतः पुराने बोलचाल/बोली-रूपों से जुड़ी, जिनमें अर्थ ‘चापलूसी करके मनाना/फुसलाना’ था, और बाद में अर्थ का केंद्र ‘नरम, धैर्यपूर्ण मनुहार’ हो गया।

Definition

Coaxed is the past tense and past participle of “coax,” meaning to persuade someone gently and patiently, often by flattery, soothing talk, or repeated requests, rather than by force.

“Coaxed” ‘coax’ का भूतकाल/भूत कृदंत है, जिसका अर्थ है किसी को धीरे-धीरे, धैर्य से, प्यार से या मनुहार/चापलूसी करके किसी काम के लिए राज़ी करना, ज़बरदस्ती से नहीं।
