Coerced servant loudly (4)
I believe the answer is:
made
'coerced' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'servant loudly' is the wordplay.
'servant' becomes 'maid' (maid is a type of servant).
'loudly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (when spoken - not silently).
'maid' is a homophone of 'MADE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for made that I've seen before include "Fabricated" , "Constructed" , "Built" , "Performed" , "One renovating (painting)" .)
