arouser
Thing that stirs
An arouser is something or someone that arouses—that stimulates, awakens, or excites.
The word applies broadly: an arouser of curiosity, an arouser of suspicion, an arouser of sexual desire.
The term is uncommon; English speakers typically use the verb arouse or adjective arousing rather than nominalize it.
