推動一個程序
推的對象是一件事、一套程序，所以語氣中性，重點在「誰起的頭」。
verb · C1
To make something start, especially a formal process such as an official inquiry, a legal case, or a set of changes in the way something is run.

One way to hold this word: a hand at someone's back, pushing. The hand does not walk anywhere itself — it only gets the walking started. That is why the word always looks past the action to whoever set it going, whether the thing that starts moving is an official inquiry or an angry crowd.

可以想成一隻推在背後的手。那隻手自己不往前走，它只負責讓走動開始。所以這個字總是越過「誰做了那件事」，去指「誰讓事情動起來」——被推動的可以是一項官方調查，也可以是一群情緒上來的人。From the word’s history
Borrowed from Latin instigatus, the past participle of instigo, and made into an English verb with -ate, the same ending as in activate and educate. What the packet records is the borrowing itself; the sense of pushing something into motion is how English has used the word.
借自拉丁文 īnstīgātus（īnstīgō 的過去分詞），再用英文的動詞字尾 -ate 接成動詞，和 activate、educate 同一個字尾。資料裡記到的只有這個借入的過程；至於「推一把讓事情動起來」的味道，是英文使用上的樣子，不是這份資料裡的字源說明。
