Crossword Genius

Extort from girlfriend? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squeeze

This clue is a double definition.

'extort' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'girlfriend?' is the second definition.
(squeeze can mean a romantic partner)

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for squeeze that I've seen before include "Apply pressure (for money?)" , "Strong financial pressure" , "Exacting demand" , "Compress, press firmly" , "Grip or grasp" .)
