Urges can be deceptively simple (6)
I believe the answer is:
impels
'urges' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'deceptively simple' is the wordplay.
'deceptively' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'simple' is an anagram of 'IMPELS'.
'can be' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for impels that I've seen before include "Drives or forces" , "Forces, urges to action" , "Urges or drives to do something" , "Spurs" , "Drives on in simple way" .)
