Wrung (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extorted

'wrung' is the definition.
('extort' can be a synonym of 'wring')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for extorted that I've seen before include "Gained by threats" , "Forced out" , "Obtained by force or threat" , "Extracted money with menaces" , "Obtained money by threats" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
