Force one into home economics, say (7)
I believe the answer is:
subject
'economics say' is the definition.
(economics is a kind of subject)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for subject that I've seen before include "person photographed" , "topic of conversation?" , "issue" , "Theme - one under rule" , "In school possibly English" .)
