诱发

• 拼音: yòu fā
• 汉字拆解: 诱 = 言 + 秀 (speech + elegant — to lead/entice); 发 = 弓 + 殳 + 又 (bow + weapon + hand — to shoot/trigger/emit)

含义

To trigger; to induce; to precipitate. Describes a factor that causes or brings about a condition, event, or reaction — often used in medical, psychological, or causal analysis contexts.

Common in medical literature (诱发疾病 — trigger a disease), psychology (诱发焦虑 — induce anxiety), and causal analysis. Distinguished from 引起 (cause) by its implication that a latent potential already existed and was merely activated. The triggering agent does not create the condition from nothing but rather sets off a pre-existing vulnerability.
