Provoked within view, caught by day (7)

I believe the answer is:

incited

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

'provoked' is the definition.
(inciting is a kind of provoking)

'within view caught by day' is the wordplay.
'within view' becomes 'in sight' (I've seen this before).
'caught' shows a homophone (sound like) (to catch something can mean to hear it).
'by day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'insight' is a homophone of 'incite'.
'incite'+'d'='INCITED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for incited that I've seen before include "Egged on to action as in edict" , "Stirred up (unlawful activity)" , "Stirred up (trouble)" , "Encouraged, stirred up" , "Provoked and urged on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
