| Nov 26, 2013 at 18:24 | comment | added | Tyler James Young | @Corabict I agree with Jim that “garner” is the better replacement. Also, please note correction of “induce” to “educe” and mark answer as accepted if you have no further questions on the matter. Lastly, please add details to your question, such as why you are looking for a replacement word, what definitions you found when you looked up this word and why they didn't satisfy you. Otherwise, the question will probably be voted closed. | |

| Nov 26, 2013 at 18:17 | comment | added | Jim | garner is ok, not so much induce. In this instance I think the best replacement for elicit is 'go out and get' or 'go out and ask for'. induce connotes cause to happen by application of some stimulus | |
