arouser

/ɚɹˈaʊsɚ/ noun

Someone or something that arouses.

Word Origin Arouse comes from the prefix a- (intensive) and rouse, which originally meant 'to shake, disturb' — possibly from Latin recusare 'to refuse, object,' as in shaking off objections. An arouser is someone who stirs others up, wakes them from complacency. The same root gives us rouse and ruse (a trick to shake off pursuit).
