Force wife, after adjusting, to meet everyone (9)
I believe the answer is:
waterfall
'force' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'wife after adjusting to meet everyone' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w'.
'adjusting' indicates an anagram.
'to meet' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'after' is an anagram of 'aterf'.
'w'+'aterf'+'all'='WATERFALL'
(Other definitions for waterfall that I've seen before include "Cataract" , "Downpour" , "Cascade, force" , "Current" , "Perpendicular descent of a river" .)
