Dine, then urged to be stamped out (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suppressed

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

'stamped out' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'dine then urged' is the wordplay.
'dine' becomes 'sup' (synonyms).
'then' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'urged' becomes 'pressed' ('press' can be a synonym of 'urge').
'sup'+'pressed'='SUPPRESSED'

'to be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for suppressed that I've seen before include "held in check" , "Cancelled" , "Inhibited" .)
