n. [ L. coercio, fr. coercere. See Coerce. ] 1. The act or process of coercing. [ 1913 Webster ]

2. (Law) The application to another of either physical or moral force. When the force is physical, and cannot be resisted, then the act produced by it is a nullity, so far as concerns the party coerced. When the force is moral, then the act, though voidable, is imputable to the party doing it, unless he be so paralyzed by terror as to act convulsively. At the same time coercion is not negatived by the fact of submission under force. “Coactus volui” (I consented under compulsion) is the condition of mind which, when there is volition forced by coercion, annuls the result of such coercion. Wharton. [ 1913 Webster ]

a. Coercive. “Coercitive power in laws.” Jer. Taylor. [ 1913 Webster ]

a. Serving or intended to coerce; having power to constrain.

-- Co*er"cive*ly, adv. -- Co*er"cive*ness, n. [ 1913 Webster ]

Coercive force or
Coercitive force (Magnetism), the power or force which in iron or steel produces a slowness or difficulty in imparting magnetism to it, and also interposes an obstacle to the return of a bar to its natural state when active magnetism has ceased. It plainly depends on the molecular constitution of the metal. Nichol. [ 1913 Webster ]

The power of resisting magnetization or demagnization is sometimes called coercive force. S. Thompson. [ 1913 Webster ]
