Again forcing me to be aloof (6)
I believe the answer is:
remote
'aloof' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'again forcing me to' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'forcing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'me'+'to'='meto'
'meto' is an anagram of 'mote'.
're'+'mote'='REMOTE'
'be' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for remote that I've seen before include "station selector?" , "Slight possibility" , "Sort of control" , "Far removed" , "gadget" .)
