deceive

deceive: [13] Etymologically, to deceive someone is to ‘catch’ or ‘ensnare’ them. The word comes ultimately from Latin dēcipere ‘ensnare, take in’, a compound verb formed from the pejorative prefix dē- and capere ‘take, seize’ (source of English capture and a wide range of related words). It passed into English via Old French deceivre and decevoir. English has two noun derivatives of deceive: deceit [13] comes ultimately from the past participle of Old French decevoir, while deception [14] comes from dēcept-, the past participial stem of Latin dēcipere.=> capable, capture, conceive, deceit, receive

deceive (v.)

c. 1300, from Old French decevoir "to deceive" (12c., Modern French décevoir), from Latin decipere "to ensnare, take in, beguile, cheat," from de- "from" or pejorative + capere "to take" (see capable). Related: Deceived; deceiver; deceiving.
