How to use "Extort" in context?
The word "extort" is defined as the practice of obtaining something by threatening to take it or to inflict a penalty. In contemporary usage, "extort" can also refer to the use of abusive or coercive language or actions to get someone to do something they do not want to do.
Extortion is a crime that is typically committed by someone who has power over someone else. The threat of violence or the use of threats of violence can often be enough to get someone to do what the abuser wants. This is especially true if the person is intimidated or fears for their safety.
