Compelled servant, by the sound of it (4)
I believe the answer is:
made
'compelled' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'servant by the sound of it' is the wordplay.
'servant' becomes 'maid' (maid is a type of servant).
'by the sound of it' shows a homophone (sound like).
'maid' sounds like 'MADE'.
(Other definitions for made that I've seen before include "One renovating (painting)" , "Built" , "Created" , "Forced" , "Constructed" .)
