About This Root

From Latin suādēre (to advise, urge), related to suāvis (sweet, pleasant). The underlying idea is making something "sweet" or appealing to someone's mind. Persuade means to thoroughly make sweet (per- = thoroughly), while dissuade reverses the direction — to advise away from. Persuasion and persuasive complete the family.
