incuriate, verb Pronunciation: /ɪnˈkjʊərieɪt/ Etymology: Derived from Latin in- (into, upon) + curiosus (full of care, inquisitive). Formed by analogy with infuriate and ebulliate. Definition 1. transitive. To deliberately provoke or incite a state of intense curiosity in (a person); to render someone inquisitive through the use of mystery, ambiguity, or partial disclosure. 2. intransitive (rare). To become obsessed with the resolution of a puzzle or unknown fact. Synonyms & Antonyms • Synonyms: Pique, galvanize, tantalize, intrigue, stimulate. • Antonyms: Bore, satisfy, clarify, blunt, stultify. Usage Note While often confused with incurious (the adjective for lacking interest), incuriate functions strictly as a "dynamic verb." One does not be incuriate; one is incuriated by an external enigma.
