Kanji 乗 ride, power, multiplication Similar words 誘さそ う 誘う is the transitive verb meaning 'to invite' or 'to tempt', while 誘いに乗る is the intransitive expression meaning 'to accept the invitation' or 'to be lured'.
乗の る 乗る alone means 'to ride' or 'to get on', but in this expression it takes the figurative meaning of 'going along with' or 'being carried along by' an invitation.
Etymology The expression combines 誘い (invitation, temptation) with 乗る (to ride, to go along with), figuratively meaning 'to ride on an invitation' or 'to be carried along by a suggestion'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the phrase is a natural extension of the verb 乗る's metaphorical use.
