The word "forced" refers to something that is done against someone's will or without their consent. It often implies an element of pressure or coercion, meaning that the person involved must do something they might not want to do due to external circumstances. For example, if someone is forced to stay in a situation, they are not there voluntarily, but instead must comply due to circumstances beyond their control.
The word "forced" comes from the Middle English word "forcen," which means "to compel or constrain," stemming from the Old French word "forcer" and ultimately deriving from the Latin "fortis," meaning "strong."
