Incentivize

[Merna]

Motivate or encourage (someone) to do something; provide with an incentive.

[Renato]

A corporate-jargon non-word meaning motivate, coined in 1968. Some 10 years later, it was shortened to the equally annoying verb [incent]. Unfortunately, both are recognized by both [Merriam-Webster] and the [OED].

The only respectable form of the word is the noun incentive.
