[ imp. & p. p. { Tantalized}; p. pr. & vb. n. { Tantalizing}.] [ From { Tantalus}: cf.

[ 1913 Webster] Thy vain desires, at strife Within themselves, have tantalized thy life. -- Dryden. [ 1913 Webster] Syn: To tease; vex; irritate; provoke. Usage: { Tantalize}, { Disappoint}. To disappoint is literally to do away with what was ( or was taken to be) appointed; hence the peculiar pain from hopes thus dashed to the ground. To tantalize, a much stronger term, describes a most distressing form of disappointment, as in the case of Tantalus, the Phrygian king. To tantalize is to visit with the bitterest disappointment -- to torment by exciting hopes or expectations which can never be realized.
