Persuade by force (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coerce

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">persuade by force</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for coerce that I've seen before include "'Force, pressurise (6)'" , "Force into obedience" , "Force, pressure" , "Force (someone) to do something" , "Railroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
