RFV-sense "In a coercible manner." This is indeed the sense one would logically expect from the form of the word, but the only sense I see in use in Google Books is "coercively". - -sche (discuss) 23:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one - I take "coercibly insane" to mean "insane in a way that makes one coercible", but I admit that I find the sentence confusing, so I may well be wrong. —Mr. Granger (talkcontribs) 00:32, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And there's also "hundreds of other Skudrians had also entered Asia and traveled to Parsa, either freely or coercibly." I take this to mean "having been coerced", which is included in the definition for the second sense. But I think there's something wrong with the definition for the second sense - it includes both "having been coerced" and "coercively", which have totally different meanings as far as I know. —Mr. Granger (talkcontribs) 00:43, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good point; I've split those senses. - -sche (discuss) 06:38, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
