Force or oblige someone to do something (6)

I believe the answer is:

compel

(Other definitions for compel that I've seen before include "Coerce, force to obey" , "Use force, oblige" , "'Force, oblige (6)'" , "Make someone do something" , "Bring about by force" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
