Urges some simple translation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impels

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'urges some' is the definition.
'impels' can be an answer for 'urges' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'some' bit.

'simple translation' is the wordplay.
'translation' indicates anagramming the letters.
'simple' anagrammed gives 'IMPELS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for impels that I've seen before include "Drives on in simple way" , "Drives or forces" , "Urges or drives to do something" , "Forces, urges to action" , "Spurs" .)
