Accepted Answer

英 [ˌməʊtɪ'veɪʃn] 美 [ˌməʊtɪ'veɪʃn] (1) bend on sth At the root of the word motivation is the word motive, which is similarly defined as the reason for a particular action. Although the words are synonyms, when it comes to criminal behavior, people generally ask about the motives leading to the criminal acts, not the motivation behind them. Other synonyms for motivation include inspiration and enthusiasm, so people tend to associate motivation with positive acts.
