Powerful desire (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urge

(Other definitions for urge that I've seen before include "Encourage; impulse" , "Encourage to proceed, drive onward" , "Advise earnestly, spur" , "Constrain" , "Encourage to proceed, drive onwards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
