instigator
의미: A person who initiates or brings about an action or event, typically one involving conflict, trouble, or significant change.
Instigator carries a predominantly negative connotation, suggesting that the person set something harmful or disruptive in motion. It is frequently used in legal contexts (instigator of a riot), journalism (instigator of a controversy), and everyday speech (instigator of a fight). Occasionally it appears in a neutral or positive sense when someone initiates beneficial change, but this usage is less common.
