"Stir up" is actually a phrasal verb! You may already know this, but a phrasal verb are two or more words that are put together to create one meaning. "Stir up" means to make someone feel strong emotions, such as anger or happiness, or try to cause problems or arguments. Ex: He is stirring up trouble. Ex: Her words stirred up anger in me.
