Tried to persuade (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urged

'tried to persuade' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for urged that I've seen before include "Exhorted or prodded" , "Incited" , "Pressed" , "Egged on" , "Beseeched" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, the Universal and the Newsday.
