The word 教唆 is formed by combining the character 教, meaning "to teach" or "instruct", with 唆, meaning "to instigate" or "incite". Together, they create a compound where 教's sense of guidance merges with 唆's notion of urging, resulting in the meaning "to abet" or "instigate", specifically referring to the act of encouraging or instructing someone to commit a wrongful deed.
