Provocation is the act of starting something chaotic, rather than keeping things simple you provoke or act as a catalyst to stir up emotions to bring negativity into a normally uncharged state.

In a legal sense it can be a defence to murder or manslaughter or any other criminal offence against the person. It means an act or an omission to perform an act that causes another person to react in a violent or agressive way. The importance rests on whether the provoking act was intentional or not.

Provocation means "to provoke". Provoke means "cause something to happen". If you provoke a fight, you encourage 2 people to fight.
