kindle
Set alight deliberately
To kindle is to start a fire or cause something to catch flame: She kindled the campfire with dry leaves.
The word extends naturally to emotions and ideas—kindling interest, curiosity, or passion means sparking them into life: The lecture kindled her enthusiasm for astronomy.
Kindle suggests a gentle beginning that may grow into something larger. (Capitalized Kindle is Amazon's e-reader device.)
