Encouraged, clarified removing President (5)
I believe the answer is:
urged
'encouraged' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for urged that I've seen before include "Beseeched" , "Impelled - encouraged" , "Incited" , "Egged on" , "Pressed" .)
