The Latin Roots of Elicit
Elicit derives fromthe past participle of the Latin verb elicere,
formed by combining the prefix e- (meaning "away") with the verb lacere, meaning "to entice by charm or attraction."
It is not related to its near-homophone, the adjective illicit—that word, meaning "unlawful," traces back to another Latin verb, licēre, meaning "to be permitted." Nor is elicit related to the verb solicit, even though it sounds like it should be.
Solicit derives fromLatin sollicitare ("to disturb"), formed bycombining the adjective sollus, meaning "whole," with the past participle of the verb ciēre, meaning "to move
Illicit and Elicit
Illicit, while not exactlyan everyday word, is far more common than its antonym, licit ("not forbidden by law, permissible").
Perhaps this is a function of our oft-noted fascination with bad behavior and boredom with rectitude.
In any case, illicit may be used of behavior that is either unlawful or immoral.
These categories frequently overlap, but they are not always synonymous, as some unlawful activities (illicit cigarette smoking) may not be considered immoral, while some immoral activities (an illicit affair) are not illegal.
Illicit is occasionally confused with elicit because of the similarity in their pronunciations,
but the two words have decidedly different meanings and functions: in contemporary English,
elicit is a verb meaning "to get (a response, information, etc.) from someone," while illicit appears solely as an adjective.
