Elbowed (6)
I believe the answer is:
nudged
'elbowed' is the definition.
('nudge' can be a synonym of 'elbow')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for nudged that I've seen before include "Poked in ribs with elbow" , "Poked in the ribs to get attention" , "Poked; reminded" , "Poked with elbow to attract attention" , "Poked gently with elbow" .)
