Obtain by force (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extort

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

(Other definitions for extort that I've seen before include "To get through compulsion" , "Obtain by force or intimidation" , "Obtain by coercion or intimidation" , "Extract money with menances" , "Wring (money) out (by violence, etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Sun.
