Etymology of COMPELLED

The word "compelled" originated from the Old French verb "compellir" (also spelled "compelir"), which itself derived from the Latin verb "compellere". The Latin term is a combination of the prefix "com-" meaning "together" and the verb "pellere" meaning "to drive". Therefore, the etymology of "compelled" suggests being driven or forced together, often used to express being influenced or compelled to do something against one's will.
