Foment
<foh-meant>
instigate; incite; whip up;
to provoke someone into doing something.
I don't want to foment trouble between us. I will share my cookies with you.
Memory trick:
foment reminds of foam.
we get foam when we stir something.
At work:
He was trouble and would foment discontent in his fellow employees. Things are peaceful now since he left.
