Urge to bed emoji? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eggplant

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

'emoji?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'urge to bed' is the wordplay.
'urge' becomes 'egg' (as in egging someone on).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'bed' becomes 'plant' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'egg'+'plant'='EGGPLANT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eggplant that I've seen before include "Vegetable" , "It's also called aubergine" , "What goes into moussaka" , "Its fruit is aubergine" , "US name for aubergine" .)
