WORD OF THE DAY:

Suborn -- To induce (a person) to commit an unlawful or evil act

Use suborn in a sentence:

Having been suborned into burning down a police station, committing a double homicide and carrying out a string of armed liquor store robberies up and down the East Coast as part of an elaborate initiation ritual, eight-year-old Theo LaPlaine finally decided he’d had enough, wiping the prints from the gun and throwing it, the latex gloves and the Nixon mask into the rest stop trash can then torching the can and watching it all go up in flames along with what he now realized to be his arrogant, foolish dream of joining the Cub Scouts.
