Crossword Genius

Compelled to bring cheese back (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

made

'compelled' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'cheese back' is the wordplay.
'cheese' becomes 'edam' (Edam is an example).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'edam' reversed gives 'MADE'.

'to bring' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for made that I've seen before include "Produced" , "brought about" , "Built" , "One renovating (painting)" , "Constructed" .)
