'press' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'sent queen brief solemn final letter to er' is the wordplay.
'sent' indicates an anagram (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'brief' means to remove the last letter (a shorter or briefer version of the word).
'final letter' becomes 'Z' (in the alphabet).
'queen' with its final letter taken away is 'quee'.
'quee'+'solemn'='queesolemn'
'queesolemn' anagrammed gives 'lemonsquee'.
'lemonsquee'+'z'+'er'='LEMON SQUEEZER'
