drive

Definition

As a verb, to be the force behind something: "X drives Y" claims that X is the main cause of Y, a stronger statement than saying the two correlate. Read it as a causal claim and check what backs it — an ablation, an intervention, or merely an observed association. The noun senses, a disk drive or a motivational drive, are rare in this literature.
