Coaxed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wheedled

'coaxed' is the definition.
('wheedle' can be a synonym of 'coax')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for wheedled that I've seen before include "Cajoled" , "Coaxed by flattery" , "Obtained by flattery" , "Obtained by coaxing, persuaded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Newsday.com, The Times, the USA Today and the New York Times.
