Incite purist to riot (4,2)

I believe the answer is:

stir up

'incite' is the definition.
(I know that incite can be written as stir up)

'purist to riot' is the wordplay.
'to riot' indicates anagramming the letters.
'purist' with letters rearranged gives 'STIR UP'.

(Other definitions for stir up that I've seen before include "Get excited" , "Foment (trouble)" , "Cause or provoke trouble" , "Fire in" , "Instigate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
