Italian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Latin incitāre.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /in.t͡ʃiˈta.re/
  • Rhymes: -are
  • Hyphenation: in‧ci‧tà‧re

Verb[edit]

incitàre (first-person singular present ìncito, first-person singular past historic incitài, past participle incitàto, auxiliary avére)

  1. (transitive) to incite, urge, spur, egg on

Usage notes[edit]

  • Treccani marks io incìto as a variant pronunciation to io ìncito. Hoepli doesn't include this pronunciation. The modern-minded Canepari (Dizionario di Pronuncia Italiana) marks it as less-preferred and aulica (archaic or literary), and the traditional-minded Dizionario di Ortografia e Pronuncia notes it as "less common today, but prevalent in the past and largely attested by the poets".
