+ It is to advise against a course of action, to oppose it by argument, and to advise someone not to do something, as in the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium''.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short note it as a term of public law, of speaking against a proposed law: Cicero asks who ever urged an agrarian law before so favourable an assembly as the one before which he opposed it.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Hyginus has someone who broke faith on the advice of friends.^(OLD 2012) Porphyrio and some poor editions have ⟨dēsuādeō⟩.^(TLL) Church Latin glosses it to advise or speak against, dissuade.^(Stelten 1995) English [[m|en|dissuade]] comes from it, partly through French, from the 1510s.^(Etymonline)
