Dissuade, persuade का उल्टा है। Persuade सलाह देकर मनाता है; dissuade सलाह देकर रोकता है। 'Suade' वही, दिशा उल्टी।

Dissuade is the opposite of persuade. Persuade talks someone into doing something; DIS-suade talks them away from it. Same 'suade', opposite direction.

Exam note

The persuade–dissuade pair is a favourite antonym question; dissuade takes 'from' + -ing (dissuade him from quitting). Synonyms: discourage, deter, talk out of.
