Need help with finding alternative word from "create"

    Hi,

    This may seem like a silly question, but I am struggling to find an alternative word which has a similar meaning to "create" but in a forceful way.....

    To give you an everyday example, we can say that we 'create' business. A tax office may be considered a business. However, as a public citizen, I don't want to 'create' business with the tax office, but I 'have to' (forced through regulation). This may be described as __________ business.

    Fill in the blank. :confused:

    I would be grateful if you have any suggestion on this as I need to examine alternative words please.

    Many thanks in advance!!

    Hi Mark,

    Yes, I checked that source before I posted here and none seem to fit. Any ideas yourself besides online material?

    Could it be described as the taxes propagating business for the tax office...or tax offices deal in compulsory business...?

    compelled creation of business? (edit got mixed up with impel :rolleyes: :o )
    or enforced?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,039 ✭✭✭force eleven


    Involuntary business.

    I wonder would "compelled" work?

    raped.

    forced to create = raped


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭Who Knows?


    I don't think these work, for example, if I create, it implies a positive sense of something being developed/constructed...?

    If I have to create, forced almost (but force is too strong), compelled, how would you use this in the sense that... "Within this service we are [together compelled] to submit tax...bla bla....

    Is co-compelled a word?

    Or maybe co-impelled?

    we are compelled is fine
    or since it's tax, required, we are required

    compulsary


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


    Obliged, bound? Compelled works for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,176 ✭✭✭Jess16


    Inciting -the tax office is inciting business and you are subsequently required to pay tax


  • Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 11,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭MarkR


    Enforced?

    Yes you do want to, otherwise you will be breaking the law. You don't want to create a situation for yourself where you are fined or jailed for not adhering to your legal obligations as a citizen of a country.

    :cool:

    coerced, extorted, conscripted.

    In future, if you have a word that not quite right, run it through the thesaurus, if the results are close but still not quite it, run them through the thesaurus. Youll find that inspiriation will strike as you run through alternatives, your brain may suddenly go 'ping!' and come up with the right word.

    You comply with regulations, if that's any help to you.

    forced through regulation - legally obligated / obligatory

    Your question confused me a little though
    to create a business = to form something
    to create business = to enable something

    Is it possible the idea is "to do business with"?
