Origin:
The English word "impel" derives from the Latin verb "impellere," which means "to push against, set in motion." This verb is formed from the prefix "in-," meaning "into," and the verb "pellere," meaning "to thrust." The Indo-European root *pel- is also found in other words related to movement, such as "pulse," "propel," and "expel."
In the context of psychology, "impel" is often used to describe the forces that drive a person's behavior or thought processes. These forces can be either internal, such as emotions or desires, or external, such as environmental factors or social pressures.
