JY f1440 402
insitigate, entice, abet
教唆・きょうさ・instigation, incitement
示唆する・しさする・suggest, hint
KUN - instigate, egg on, abet, incite
唆し・そそのかし・instigation
人に悪事を唆す・ひとにあくじをそそのかす・entice a person to do something wrong

"mouth/say" + "linger" (also the right hand part of "acid"), acting phonetically to mean "coerce/exhort" but of unclear semantic role. Idea is therefore to urge someone to do something.

TEST
instigation, incitement
suggest, hint
instigation
entice a person to do something wrong
