1. capture: To take someone or something into one's possession, often by using force or deception.

2. ensnare: To capture or trap someone or something, often by using deceit or cunning.

3. capture, ensnare vs. trap: All three words - capture, ensnare, and trap - can be used to describe the act of taking someone or something into one's possession by using force or deception. However, there are some subtle differences between the three words that can be helpful in choosing the right word for a particular situation. Capture generally implies taking someone or something into one's possession by using force or deception, but without necessarily implying that any specific tool or device was used to accomplish the capture. Ensnare, on the other hand, generally implies taking someone or something into one's possession by using deceit or cunning, often implying that some specific tool or device was used to accomplish the ensnarement. Trap, finally, generally implies setting up a specific device or mechanism with the intention of capturing someone or something unwittingly, often implying that the use of force or deception was not involved in the setting up of the trap. While all three words can be used interchangeably in some contexts, it is generally a good idea to choose the word that most accurately reflects the specific nuances of the situation at hand.
