1. 1煽動(故意鼓動別人去吵、去打、去鬧事)。台灣新聞多說「煽動」;法律文本也會看到「煽惑」。

    When you incite people, you push them on purpose toward a fight, a riot, or an angry argument. You are not just cheering; you are trying to light that fire. News and law use this word a lot: a speaker might incite a crowd to attack, or a post might incite hatred. It is a serious, rather formal word. The usual pattern is incite someone to do something (incite them to violence). You can also incite a feeling, most often hatred or unrest. In everyday talk people more often say stir up or egg on; incite sounds like a courtroom or a newspaper. Though actually, the person who incites may never throw a stone themselves — that is why the law cares about it: the words can be the match.

組成From Middle French inciter, from Latin incitō (“to set in motion, urge”): in- (“in, on”) + citō (“to set in motion, urge”), a repeated form of cieō (“to rouse, call”).
