'Enkindled' means to set something alight or to arouse a feeling or passion. 🔥 It's similar to 'ignited,' but often implies a more emotional or spiritual awakening. It suggests a gentle but powerful start, like tending a small flame until it grows. Think of hope being 'enkindled' in someone's heart or a love affair being 'enkindled' by a first meeting.
