A Word?

[cee-dee]

OK, it's a long shot but I'm looking for a word.

It's a legal term which means to encourage, put an idea in someone's mind, give them the idea to do something, plant the idea, almost auto-suggest, incite almost.

I've got it planted in my mind that the word I'm looking for begins with "P" (I hope I've not planted that in readers minds?).

I think I've exhausted all the "legal-speak" websites and lists of words so for the heck of it I thought I'd ask here

One legal word is incitement (usually in relation to a violent act)

OR

Maybe Coercion

[cee-dee]

Nope, not the word I'm thinking of.

[1956glyn]

Plagiarism ?  

[cee-dee]

Nope. It could be construed as "leading someone on".

[1956glyn]

Now you got me racking my brains lol

[1956glyn]

Over to others......legally all i can come up with is coercive persuasion

[fallen-archie]

Importune!

[cee-dee]

Well blow me, that's it. (I knew a "P" had something to do with it). Thank you very much, it's been bugging me for over a week.

[fallen-archie]

There you go, you only had to ask👍😃

Intice

[1956glyn]

i object !    That is not a frequently used legal term 😛

[cee-dee]

Ha ha, I didn't say "frequently".... anyway, there's lotsa new terms coming up and old words are going out of use, difficult to keep up?

[upthecreekyetagain]

I thought to importune was similar to solicit - incite  as suggested by Petal seems to be closer to you definition of the word you were looking for.

[right-then-petal]

Intice

[upthecreekyetagain]

? Entice ? 😉

[theelench]

How about 

proposition?

Or even 

inveigle?

[margaret*e]

Propose.

[cee-dee]

Importune is the nearest to what I was thinking of but I'm not sure if there's another word out there.

It's to do with sort of planting an idea in someone's mind and continuing to mention it, sort of encouraging or leading them on to do something without actually saying "go and......." do something.

Got It

it's

if you want my advise

you plant the idea and they do it.
