Driven is the past tense of drive, although I was thinking more of it referring to the push towards a goal, the urge to scratch an itch that seems just beyond reach.

Driv"en (?), p. p.

of Drive. Also adj.

Driven well, a well made by driving a tube into the earth to an aqueous stratum; -- called also drive well.
