Obtain by coercion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extort

'obtain by coercion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for extort that I've seen before include "Squeeze" , "Obtain wrongfully" , "Obtain importunately" , "Force from, tax or confession" , "Obtain (money etc) by force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
