cebo

/ˈθebo/ · B2 · noun · m

bait

🪱🎣 cebo sounds like THAY-bo: a bait that makes fish say 'hey, bow!' and bite

Say THAY-bo and link it to a fisher's hook: cebo is the lure used to draw fish in. The same word covers feed given to animals, such as grain, since both are food used to attract or fatten creatures. Latin cibus, food, is the root.
