Drive to park in roughly a mile (5)

I believe the answer is:

impel

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

'drive' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'park in roughly a mile' is the wordplay.
'park' becomes 'p' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'roughly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mile' with letters rearranged gives 'imel'.
'p' going into 'imel' is 'IMPEL'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for impel that I've seen before include "Constrain" , "Urge forward, drive" , "Hold together" , "Urge forward - push" , "Drive or coerce" .)
