Times interrupting others stirred urges (7)

I believe the answer is:

exhorts

'urges' is the definition.
('exhort' can be a synonym of 'urge')

'times interrupting others stirred' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'x' (x resembles the multiplication or times sign).
'interrupting' is an insertion indicator.
'stirred' indicates an anagram.
'others' anagrammed gives 'ehorts'.
'x' going inside 'ehorts' is 'EXHORTS'.

(Another definition for exhorts that I've seen is " 'Urges, spurs on (7)'".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
