driven

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

'forced' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'employ a chauffeur?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'chauffeur?' could be 'drive' (chauffer can mean to drive around) and 'drive' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
