Definition of 'enticings'

English

Noun

(head)
  • * Herman Melville, Moby Dick , p 538.
  • On each soft side--coincident with the parted swell, that but once leaving him then flowed so wide away--on each bright side, the whale shed off enticings . No wonder there had been some among the hunters who namelessly transported and allured by all this serenity, had ventured to assail it; but had fatally found that quietude but the vesture of tornadoes.
