Answer:

Twist.

Explanation:

The term <em>Extort </em>means to obtain something from an individual using coercion (force and threats).

This term takes its etymology on the root words <em>ex-</em>, which means "out", and <em>tor-</em>, which takes its origin from the verb in Latin, "torquere" (to twist). The word went from the original "extorquere" in Latin to the more widely used "extort" in the 16th century.
