Incite में excite की हलचल सुनिए: incite यानी लोगों को excite करना, पर किसी हिंसक या ग़लत काम के लिए। जो speaker भीड़ को दंगे के लिए भड़काए, उसने incite किया; pacify इसका उल्टा है।

Hear EXCITE in INCITE: to incite is to excite people, but towards something violent or wrong. A speaker who stirs a crowd into a riot has incited it; pacify is its opposite.
