What 促 means
The surrounding word decides its exact sense. Chinese compounds also use it for quickness, short duration, or nearness. Translate the whole word; 促 alone is not a command.
How old is 促?
It appears in an early Chinese character dictionary. The Shuowen Jiezi, compiled around 100 CE, glosses 促 as pressing or approaching. That dates a record, not the character’s invention. Traditional analysis assigns meaning to 亻 and sound to 足.
