impassions
Sets hearts ablaze
Impassions means to fill with passion or intense emotion.
The word appears almost exclusively in its participial forms: an impassioned speech, an impassioned plea, an impassioned defense.
These describe something delivered with fervent emotion and conviction.
The base verb is rare; you're more likely to encounter impassioned than to see someone impassion anything.
