Area where one is killed by abrupt, strange force (7)
I believe the answer is:
squeeze
'force' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for squeeze that I've seen before include "Press hard, compress" , "Extract by pressing" , "credit crunch?" , "Grip or grasp" , "crowd" .)
