Wrung (8)
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" .)
