ILLUDE/ELUDE |
“Illude” is a very rare word, most of whose former meanings are obsolete, but which can mean “to deceive, lead astray.” But in modern usage this word is almost always used as an error for “elude,” meaning “escape, evade.” similarly, you would be better off avoiding the word “illusive” and using the much more common word “illusory” to mean “deceptive.” “Illusive” is almost always an error for “elusive.”
