To stir up, agitate, incite, or urge to action; to provoke or arouse excitement or emotion.
From Latin 'concitare,' meaning 'to stir together' or 'to agitate,' composed of 'con-' (together) and 'citare' (to move, summon, or urge). The verb describes the action of stirring up or inciting.
This is a dramatic, forceful word—when you 'concite' a crowd, you're not just informing them, you're deliberately rousing them to action, which is why it appears often in descriptions of riots and revolutions.
