Persuade by threats (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coerce

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

(Other definitions for coerce that I've seen before include "Persuade using threats" , "'Force, pressurise (6)'" , "Force, pressure" , "Forcibly compel" , "Railroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
