The word 诱惑 is formed through a vivid conceptual combination where the first character, 诱 (yòu), means to entice, lure, or guide someone, establishing the active principle of drawing someone in. It is paired with the second character, 惑 (huò), which means confusion, delusion, or doubt, representing the intended internal state of the target. Together, they create a cause-and-effect sequence within a single term: the act of enticing someone is performed precisely to lead them into a state of confusion or bewildered desire, perfectly encapsulating the complete concept of "temptation" or "allurement".
