Highly motivated to get the last of ground rent (6)

I believe the answer is:

driven

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

'highly motivated' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'get the last of ground rent' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'drive' (driving is a kind of getting).
'the last of ground rent' becomes 'n' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'drive'+'n'='DRIVEN'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for driven that I've seen before include "Urged or forced along" , "Given a lift" , "Forced, compelled" , "Highly motivated (informal)" , "Strongly motivated to succeed" .)
