To win someone over through flattery, sweet talk, and carefully applied charm in order to get what you want. Engatusar is soft manipulation: the target usually feels flattered right up until they realize they have been played. Common in Colombia and Venezuela.
“La engatusó con flores y promesas hasta que finalmente dijo que sí. (He won her over with flowers and promises until she finally said yes.)”
“No te dejes engatusar por ese discurso tan bien construido. (Don't let yourself be charmed by that perfectly polished speech.)”
