Etymology
The word kindler comes from the verb kindle, which means 'to light' or 'to start a fire' and is the same root as kindling, the small wood used to begin a flame. So a kindler is literally someone or something that starts a fire, and by the same idea it can 'light' people's interest or hope and begin action or strong feelings.
