誘発

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: The spelling is 誘発, read ゆうはつ, and it combines 誘, meaning draw out, with 発, meaning cause to arise.
• Basic usage: 誘発 is the triggering or induction of a reaction, event, or problem by another stimulus or action.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Causing a response rather than issuing a direct command
  • The forms are 誘発した and 誘発する. They describe a remark or light becoming the cause of a misunderstanding or reaction, not someone directly ordering an action.
• A careless remark and a reaction to strong light
  • 不用意な発言が新たな誤解を誘発した。 — A careless remark triggered a new misunderstanding.
  • 強い光が反応を誘発する可能性を調べた。 — We studied whether strong light might induce the reaction.
