reprovoked

Incited once more

Reprovoked means provoked again—to have one's anger, hostility, or reaction stirred up a second time after it had subsided.

Just when tensions had eased, his snide comment reprovoked the whole argument.

The word emphasizes renewal of conflict rather than its initial spark.
