Have an effect (on someone or something) (7)

I believe the answer is:

impinge

(Other definitions for impinge that I've seen before include "Encroach - strike" , "Encroach on the pig in me" , "Make an impact, or have bearing on" , "Have an effect (upon)" , "Encroach (upon)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
