Incited

/ɪnˈsaɪtɪd/ verb

Definition

Past tense of incite; to urge, provoke, or encourage someone to do something, especially something violent or illegal.

Etymology

From Latin 'incitare' (to drive on), composed of 'in-' (in) and 'citare' (to move/stir). The root 'citare' also appears in 'cite' and 'excite.'

Kelly Says

The 'cit-' root meaning 'to stir up' appears in excited, excitement, and even citation—they all involve movement or stirring! Legal systems take 'incitement' seriously because there's real power in the words that spark action, which is why courts distinguish between protected speech and speech that incites immediate violence.
