What does INCITE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To urge or stir someone into action, especially action that is violent, unlawful, or disruptive.
Incite carries a stronger, more deliberate push than simply encourage: to incite someone is to actively provoke them toward a particular, often troublesome, act rather than merely to make it possible. Courts and news reports use the word constantly around speech that pushes a crowd toward violence or lawbreaking, since to incite such conduct can itself be treated as an offence separate from the act it leads to. Outside legal contexts, incite still keeps that edge of stirring up trouble rather than gentle persuasion.
How INCITE is used
Formal; frequent in legal, political, and news writing about speech that provokes unlawful or violent acts.
- The speech was accused of trying to incite the crowd to riot.
- Prosecutors argued the pamphlet was meant to incite rebellion.
