Get by coercion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extort

'get by coercion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for extort that I've seen before include "Obtain by intimidation, say money" , "Obtain wrongfully" , "Force from, tax or confession" , "Obtain money with menaces" , "Wring (money) out (by violence, etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com and The New York Times.
