AFFIXES
The word stem -voc/vok(meaning call) occurs in many words. Add an affix (either a prefix or a suffix) to this stem to make another word. Each participant should add a different word to the list.
Provoke is one I hadn't thought of -- but it means to call forth a response.
Vocation is another unexpected answer. But we often use the word "calling" for a vocation -- because it is something we feel "called on" to do (by God or destiny or something).
Please keep up the effort to find these unexpected answers!
