Exhort (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urge

'exhort' is the definition.
(I know that exhort can be written as urge)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for urge that I've seen before include "Persuade - proclivity" , "Compulsion; egg on" , "Impel - impulse" , "Incite to action" , "Advise strongly or prod" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Penny Press and the LA Times.
