dent

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

This could be a double definition.

'make an impact on that will' is the first definition.
'dent' can be an answer for 'make an impact' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'a lasting impression' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'leave' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dent that I've seen before include "Impress" , "'Dinge, depression (4)'" , "Tend (anag.)" , "A cavity" , "Hollow caused by a blow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
