What are the opposite words for incite?
Incite means to provoke or instigate, but sometimes writers or speakers may want to express the opposite sentiment. Antonyms for incite could include words like deter, dissuade, inhibit, or restrain. If someone wants to dissuade another from committing an act of violence, they could say "I'm trying to prevent them from inciting any more harm." Alternatively, if someone wants to inhibit others from becoming too excited, they might say they are trying to "calm down and restrain the crowd, so they don't incite any more chaos." Antonyms can be useful for clarifying meaning, conveying nuance or simply presenting a range of vocabulary that can enhance communication.
