Meanings and usage

verb: to urge, to hasten, urgent; hurried
促, 催促

Etymology 1 covers both adjectival ('short; hurried; urgent') and verbal ('to urge; to promote; to come close') senses under the same cog4 reading, and the character is normally a bound morpheme in compounds rather than used standalone, so the single best pos/gloss is uncertain.
