Drive or urge forward (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impel

I believe this is a double definition.

'drive' is the first definition.
(I know that drive is a kind of impel)

'urge forward' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for impel that I've seen before include "Urge or propel" , "Force forwards" , "Hold together" , "Oblige" , "Press on - drive forward" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
