Endeavour to go in by force (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enterprise

'endeavour' is the definition.
('enterprise' can be a synonym of 'endeavour')

'go in by force' is the wordplay.
'go in' becomes 'enter' ('enter' can be a synonym of 'go in').
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'force' becomes 'prise' (I've seen this before**).
'enter'+'prise'='ENTERPRISE'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for enterprise that I've seen before include "drug business" , "Bold resourcefulness" , "Project, undertaking" , "Get-up-and-go - venture" , "New project" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
