what is deludir in english

Question

i would like to know what the meaning of the spanish verb "DELUDIR" means and/or it is an actual verb?

Answer 1

QFreed has correctly identified the Spanish meaning of verb 'deludir' which is a valid word and verb.

In English, the equivalent verb would be delude. Delude has the meaning:
'to cause (someone) to believe something that is not true'
An example of its use is - " He was deluded [=deceived] by their lies.'
