Question

abet v.煽动；教唆；怂恿 (1) 伙同小偷作案是有罪的。(2) 要不是那些男孩子怂恿他，他不会扔那块石头。(3) 纵容坏事即是怂恿；过分宽容就会助长坏人坏事。 The verb abet can be used to generally mean encouragement, but people usually expect to see it in relation to some crime. "The singer was abetted by a pianist in her rendition of Silver Bells," for example, is a harmless construction. However, people more often expect abet in a sentence like this: "She was charged with aiding and abetting the burglar because she drove the getaway car." Abet comes from an Old French word abeter meaning "to bait."
