irritate; provoke.
– To Excite, Incite. When we excite we rouse into action feelings
which were less strong; when we incite we spur on or urge forward to
a specific act or end. Demosthenes excited the passions of the
Athenians against Philip, and thus incited the whole nation to unite
in the war against him. Antony, by his speech over the body of CĂŠsar,
so excited the feelings of the populace, that Brutus and his
companions were compelled to flee from Rome; many however, were
incited to join their standard, not only by love of liberty, but
hopes of plunder.
