American Oxford Thesaurus

compel

compel verb 1 he compelled them to leave their land: force, pressure, press, push, urge; dragoon, browbeat, bully, intimidate, strong-arm; oblige, require, make; informal lean on, put the screws on. 2 they can compel compliance: exact, extort, demand, insist on, force, necessitate. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD compel, coerce, constrain, force, necessitate, oblige A parent faced with a rebellious teenager may try to compel him to do his homework by threatening to take away his allowance. Compel commonly implies the exercise of authority, the exertion of great effort, or the impossibility of doing anything else (compelled to graduate from high school by her eagerness to leave home ). It typically requires a personal object, although it is possible to compel a reaction or response (she compels admiration ). Force is a little stronger, suggesting the exertion of power, energy, or physical strength to accomplish something or to subdue resistance (his mother forced him to confess that he'd broken the basement window ). Coerce can imply the use of force, but often stops short of using it (she was coerced into obedience by the threat of losing her telephone privileges ). Constrain means compel, but by means of restriction, confinement, or limitation (constrained from dating by his parents' strictness ). Necessitate and oblige make an action necessary by imposing certain conditions that demand a response (Her mother's illness obliged her to be more cooperative; it also necessitated giving up her social life ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.

Oxford Thesaurus

compel

compel verb 1 the lords compelled the peasants to hand over their harvest: force, coerce into, pressurize into, pressure, impel, drive, press, push, urge, prevail on; dragoon into, browbeat into, bully into, bludgeon into, intimidate into, terrorize into; oblige, require, put under an obligation, leave someone no option but to; make; informal bulldoze, railroad, steamroller, twist someone's arm, strong-arm, lean on, put the screws on; archaic constrain. 2 they can compel compliance by issuing a directive: exact, extort, demand, insist on, enforce, force, necessitate; archaic constrain. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD compel, force, coerce, oblige All these words refer to making someone do something that they would not otherwise choose to do. They are often used in the passive, underlining the sense that the person feels deprived of power or choice. All but coerce are used with an infinitive (e.g. compelled to do something ), as in the examples given. ■ Someone who is compelled to do something is subjected to pressure that they feel unable to resist. Often, this pressure is applied by someone in authority and takes the form of the threat of penalties if the person fails to comply (companies are compelled to comply with the regulations | the court had powers to compel witnesses to attend ). Adverse circumstances may also compel someone to do something (he was compelled to retire on grounds of ill health ), or the pressure may be from one's own conscience (I feel compelled to write this letter of complaint ). ■ Force is a more general term for using superior power to make someone do what one wants them to. The superior power may be that of uncontrollable circumstances (the firm has been forced to make nineteen more workers redundant ) or that of someone physically stronger or better equipped (the raider forced him to open the safe ). People may also force themselves to do something, steeling themselves for something necessary but unpleasant (Lucy forced herself to sound calm ). ■ To coerce someone into doing something typically involves force or threats (landlords might try to coerce their tenants into voting for them | they claimed that they had been coerced into making their televised confessions ). Coercion is nearly always applied by another person, not by circumstances or one's own conscience. ■ Typically, if someone is obliged to do something, they are legally or morally bound to do it rather than being forced or pressurized (independent schools are not legally obliged to follow the National Curriculum | Stephen felt obliged to sit next to her ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.

ANTONYMS weak.
