'force' is the definition.
(duress is a kind of force)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for duress that I've seen before include "Coercion, compulsion" , "The use of force or threats to get one's way" , "Force, coercion" , "Illegal coercion" , "Constraint, force" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
