Pressed a rumpled rug for a chap (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urged

'pressed' is the definition.
('urge' can be a synonym of 'press')

'a rumpled rug for a chap' is the wordplay.
'a rumpled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a chap' becomes 'ed' (short for edward).
'rug' with letters rearranged gives 'urg'.
'urg'+'ed'='URGED'

(Other definitions for urged that I've seen before include "Egged on" , "Pressed" , "Impelled - encouraged" , "Strongly recommended" , "Strongly advised" .)
