To Attract
transitive verb, godan verb
This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means attract, so the verb vocab version is to attract.
惹く is usually seen in set phrases like 目を惹く (to catch someone's eye). While 引く can also be used in these phrases, 惹く tends to suggest that something naturally draws attention or interest on its own. In contrast, 引く is more neutral, and may even convey a more intentional, try-hard nuance.
Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You learned this reading already, so you should be okay here!
