Compelled servant, by the sound of it (4)

Ross

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" .)
