Draw attention to lover scratching Nutmeg's back (6)

I believe the answer is:

stress

'draw attention to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for stress that I've seen before include "Emphasis on anxiety?" , "Particular emphasis" , "why off work?" , "Lay emphasis on - it's a strain" , "Emphasise the strain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
