(cuī) means to urge or prompt someone to do something, often implying a sense of pressure or need for haste.

The character 催 has the radical for 'to urge' and the component that resembles a person in a hurry, reinforcing the meaning of prompting or pressing someone.","Be careful not to use 催 too informally, as it can imply impatience.
