Shake down (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extort

'shake down' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for extort that I've seen before include "Using intimidation" , "Squeeze" , "Gain money by force" , "Take from by force or threat" , "Wring (money) out (by violence, etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
