Forced to employ a chauffeur? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

driven

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'forced' is the definition.
('drive' can be a synonym of 'force')

'employ a chauffeur?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'chauffeur?' could be 'drive' (chauffer can mean to drive around) and 'drive' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for driven that I've seen before include "Determined" , "(Psychologically) impelled" , "Propelled like a hard bargain" , "Forced, compelled" , "Given a lift" .)
