It implies an underhanded or deceitful prompting, typically to achieve a hidden agenda or to manipulate a situation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of suborning or instigating was often associated with legal and political contexts, where individuals might be secretly influenced to give false testimony or to act in a way that served the interests of another party.
