Motivate within view, we might say (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incite

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'within view we might say' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'within' could be 'in' and 'in' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cite' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for incite that I've seen before include "Foment, urge on" , "Prompt" , "Trigger" , "Move to action" , "Provoke - stimulate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
