Man dropped from show, necessarily (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perforce

'necessarily' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for perforce that I've seen before include "willy-nilly" , "Old word for necessarily, due to circumstances" , "Of necessity" , "without choice" , "Necessarily; inevitably" .)
