Forces back (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repels

'forces back' is the definition.
('repel' can be a synonym of 'force back')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for repels that I've seen before include "Disgusts or drives away" , "Drives back or disgusts (6)" , "Drives away from lepers" , "Forces back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
