Compel to do a favour? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oblige

I believe this is a double definition.

'compel' is the first definition.
(I know that compel can be written as oblige)

'do a favour?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oblige that I've seen before include "Coerce or accommodate" , "Put oneself out for" , "Morally influence" , "Bind morally or legally" , "Perform a service for (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
