scatenare

Today's Parola del Giorno is the transitive verb, scatenare, which means:
  • to trigger
  • to provoke
You can see the word used in its context below -- this word has popped up recently in the news/media as certain TV presenters and commentators have gone on the air in support of Berlusconi and his condemnation of the judiciary:
Il direttore del Tg1 ha scatenato una polemica quando ha difeso Berlusconi con il suo editoriale trasmesso stasera.

The director of Tg1 has triggered a controvery when he defended Berlusconi with his editorial transmitted tonight.
