Encourage; desire (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urge

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'encourage' is the first definition.
(I know that encourage is a is a more specific form of the action of urge)

'desire' is the second definition.
(I know that urge is a type of desire)

(Other definitions for urge that I've seen before include "Strong, restless desire" , "Encourage, press" , "Plead" , "Press to do something" , "Try hard to persuade, advise earnestly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
