Mislead }.
Usage :
Deceive is a general word applicable to any kind of misrepresentation affecting faith or life .
To delude ,
primarily ,
is to make sport of ,
by deceiving ,
and is accomplished by playing upon one '
s imagination or credulity ,
as by exciting false hopes ,
causing him to undertake or expect what is impracticable ,
and making his failure ridiculous .
It implies some infirmity of judgment in the victim ,
and intention to deceive in the deluder .
But it is often used reflexively ,
indicating that a person '
s own weakness has made him the sport of others or of fortune ;
as ,
he deluded himself with a belief that luck would always favor him .
To mislead is to lead ,
guide ,
or direct in a wrong way ,
either willfully or ignorantly .
