That is not "a" word, it is four (or two, two-word phrases).
The initial incident or inciting moment is the spark-point, the event which causes a string of related events -- like the Rodney King verdict kicking off the LA Riots, or 9/11 kicking off the invasion of Iraq ... not necessarily good or logical cause, but the spark-point.
Hope that helps.

Hmmmm. Initial incident: To me, I would think it means an altercation happened that caused much trouble, i.e., a country attacked another (like Hezbollah just did to Israel), which caused much fighting when Israel responded.
Inciting moment: The more I think about these two terms, this one means the same as the other. Something sparks altercations .
Hope this helps. Interesting. Good luck!

the initial incident would be the event that sets up the main conflict in the plot. For example, in Antigone, it would be the decree that prevents Antigone from burying her brother.

the first event to cause an outcome.
for example, if event A caused outcome D, but event B and event C follow event A, and they also contribute to D, then A is the initial incident.
