What is the opposite word of persuade?

There is no antonym to "persuade". You can persuade people to do good, or persuade people to do bad. "Coerce" is a more negative version of persuade, but isn't opposite. Both verbs are about convincing someone to do something, but "coerce" generally only has negative connotations. There is no opposite to "persuade" because if someone is not actively persuading someone, they could be doing anything: standing still, talking, washing the car, playing a game, brushing their teeth... anything that could be described as "not persuading".
