Synonym: To incite, awaken, animate, rouse or arouse, stimulate, inflame, 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 Caesar, 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. Origin: L. Excitare; ex out + citare to move rapidly, to rouse: cf. OF. Esciter, exciter, F. Exciter. See Cite. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
