About を余儀なくさせる
Like を余儀なくされる, a formal grammar pattern that is usually translated as ‘to be forced to (A)’, を余儀なくさせる has the same base, but uses the causative auxiliary verb させる ‘to make do’, in place of the passive される ‘to have done to one’.
Its component parts are the adverbial particle を, the noun 余儀 ‘another method’, the conjunctive form of the い-Adjective ない, なく, and the causative form of する, させる. In this way, it literally means ‘to not give another way than to (A)’.
を余儀なくさせる will be seen following an (A) noun, where (A) is the thing that is unavoidable.
Unlike を余儀なくされる, in most cases the (A) subject of sentences that use を余儀なくさせる will be non-human cause. However, there are exceptions to this.
Fun Fact
Despite 余儀 and ない being separate words, 余儀なく is often thought of simply as a single word that means ‘unavoidably’, or ‘inevitably’.
