I believe the answer is:

pressed

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

This might be a double definition.

'hurried' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'when strongly urged' is the second definition.
'pressed' can be an answer for 'urged' ('press' can be a synonym of 'urge'). I'm unsure of the 'when strongly' bit.

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pressed that I've seen before include "Forced" , "crushed juice" , "Squeezed hard" , "under some strain" , "in a big hurry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
