Today's word

cozen \KUZ-un\ - 1. to deceive, win over, or induce to do something by artful coaxing and wheedling or shrewd trickery  2. to gain by artful coaxing or tricky deception
A word I've seen but must not have heard; thought it was pronounced \KO-zun\. Every time I see it - which hasn't been often, mind you - it takes me a minute to distinguish it from the noun coven.
