Blackmail (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

6

9

'blackmail' is the definition.
(I know that blackmail is a more specific form of extort)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for extort that I've seen before include "Wring (money) out (by violence, etc)" , "Obtain (money etc) by force" , "Extract money with menaces" , "Extract money with menances" , "Gain money by force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
