Approached and forced to be in favour (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

made for

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'approached' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'forced to be in favour' is the wordplay.
'forced' becomes 'made' (both can mean coerced).
'to be in favour' becomes 'for' (as in being for a particular cause).
'made'+'for'='MADE FOR'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
