Elicit में 'e' = बाहर। 'lic' को lips मान लीजिए — जासूस किसी के होंठों से राज़ बाहर निकलवा लेता है। मुश्किल से जानकारी या प्रतिक्रिया निकलवाना elicit है।

In ELICIT, the 'e' means out. Picture the 'lic' as lips: a detective draws a secret out from someone's lips. To elicit is to get information or a reaction out of someone, often with difficulty.
