#24 Never in the 2,000+ year history of the word 'motivate' has it meant 'explain'. Ever. Not even close. Its origins are in the word 'movere', which as you might guess means *to move*. Its modern usage has always meant 'to provide with a motive, or a cause or reason to act; to incite; to impel'.
English is not difficult; learning English from illiterate English speakers is difficult.
