Servant forced to dictate? (4)
I believe the answer is:
maid
'servant' is the definition.
(maid is a kind of servant)
'forced to dictate?' is the wordplay.
'forced' becomes 'made' (I've seen this before).
'to dictate?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'to dictate' mean this).
'made' is a homophone of 'MAID'.
(Other definitions for maid that I've seen before include "Female domestic servant" , "Female servant - young girl" , "One in service" , "daughter?" , "Damsel" .)
