STRONGS G1828:
ἐξέλκω: [present passive participle ἐξελκόμενος]; to draw out, (Homer, Pindar, Attic writings); metaphorically, equivalent to to lure forth, [A. V. draw away]: ὑπὸ τῆς... ἐπιθυμίας ἐξελκόμενος, James 1:14, where the metaphor is taken from hunting and fishing: as game is lured from its covert, so man by lust is allured from the safety of self-restraint to sin. [The language of hunting seems to be transferred here (so elsewhere, cf. Wetstein at the passage) to the seductions of a harlot, personated by ἐπιθυμία; see τίκτω.]
