Arm twisting extracted tale from adulteress (6)
I believe the answer is:
duress
'arm twisting extracted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'tale from adulteress' is the wordplay.
'from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'adulteress' with 'tale' taken away is 'DURESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for duress that I've seen before include "Threats, violence, etc, used in coercion" , "Compulsory force or threat" , "Compulsion by use of force" , "Pressure applied by druses" , "Coercion, compulsion" .)
