Driven to aid vet's operation after car test (9)
I believe the answer is:
motivated
'driven' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for motivated that I've seen is " made it get going?".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
