Definition
The act of forcing or the state of being forced; enforcement or coercion (archaic or rare usage).
Etymology
From force + -ment (Old French -ment, Latin -mentum, forming nouns of action or result). The -ment suffix creates nouns from verbs, naming the action or process.
Kelly Says
This word is practically extinct in modern English, replaced by 'force' as a noun or 'enforcement.' Its rarity shows how language naturally prunes less-useful synonyms—when you have 'force,' 'forcing,' and 'enforcement,' you don't need 'forcement' too.
