Rascal gets the Spanish to drive (5)
I believe the answer is:
impel
'drive' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'rascal gets the spanish' is the wordplay.
'rascal' becomes 'imp' ('imp' can be a synonym of 'rascal').
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'the spanish' becomes 'el'.
'imp'+'el'='IMPEL'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for impel that I've seen before include "Spur on" , "Force into motion" , "Cause to move forward" , "Make" , "Force to act" .)
