Origin
The word "blandishment" comes from the Latin word "blandīmentum," meaning "a flattering or coaxing remark or action." It is derived from the Latin verb "blandīrī," meaning "to flatter, coax." The Latin word "blandīrī" is related to the Proto-Indo-European root "*bhlād-," meaning "to flatter, please."
The word "blandishment" was first used in English in the early 16th century. It was originally used to describe a flattering or coaxing remark, but it has since come to refer to any kind of action that is intended to gain favor or persuade someone.
