Incite一词早在14世纪的拉丁语incitare就有源头了,表示"to put into rapid motion"。
到了15世纪中期,在法语中又出现了类似的enciter,意思差不多,其中:
in-:相当于英语的"into, in, on, upon",表示“进入,使”。
cit-:相当于英语的" move, excite",表示“移动,运动,召唤”。
由此,引申出“煽动,刺激”的意思。
例:
1. You incite them to outrage for bad purposes of your own.
你是为了你自己的恶毒目的而挑拨他们犯法的。
2. They pleaded guilty to possessing material likely to incite racial hatred.
他们表示认罪,承认拥有可能煽动民族仇恨的材料。
