Deceive और receive में वही 'ceive' है, यानी लेना। Receive ईमानदारी से लेना है; deceive किसी को चाल से फँसा लेना है, झूठी बात पर विश्वास करा देना।

DECEIVE and RECEIVE share the same 'ceive', the idea of taking. To receive is to take honestly; to deceive is to take someone in by a trick, making him believe what is not true.
