Obtain by coercion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extort

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">obtain by coercion</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for extort that I've seen before include "Squeeze" , "Obtain wrongfully" , "Obtain importunately" , "Force from, tax or confession" , "Obtain (money etc) by force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
