A compulsion is an urgent or irresistible need to perform an act, often against the person's will. For example, whenever I see a pile of books or magazines that are stacked haphazardly, I can't resist straightening the pile so that they are aligned and in order of size. There is no real need to do this because the misaligned reading material is doing not harm and it does no affect the material itself.
