Minnie, for example, finally lost motivation (5)

I believe the answer is:

drive

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

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

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for drive that I've seen before include "spin" , "Motivational stuff" , "Propel; outing" , "Urge along" , "gear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
