Coerce or force (into) (7)

I believe the answer is:

dragoon

(Other definitions for dragoon that I've seen before include "Former heavily armed cavalryman" , "Coerce; mounted soldier" , "Constrain" , "Browbeat" , "Coerce someone to do something against their will" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
