Writers use the term "beguiling" to evoke a dual sense of allure and artful deception that can apply to physical appearance, character traits, natural settings, and even abstract concepts. It often conveys an invitation to be enchanted—whether through a captivating look, as in the portrayal of mesmerizing eyes [1], or through engaging behavior that renders a character charmingly persuasive [2, 3]. The word is equally at home in descriptions of nature and time, imbuing landscapes or moments with an almost hypnotic quality that distracts or comforts, as when a long day is lightened by the beguiling quality of sound or scenery [4, 5]. Such usage highlights literature’s frequent exploration of the fine line between genuine beauty and the subtle, sometimes deceptive, power of attraction.
