Interesting word!
One example that I could share is “The teacher dragooned the students into cleaning up the classroom by offering extra credit points.”, and I would like to add another explanation taken from Collins dictionary:
“If someone dragoons you into doing something that you do not want to do, they persuade you to do it even though you try hard not to agree.”

Interesting indeed. Thanks for the explanation!
Nunca había escuchado esta palabra :O Acá dejo mi oración: The father dragooned his children into camping that Saturday.
Yo tampoco nunca la había escuchado :p
Ahora será fácil recordarla porque se escribe similar a “dragon” :O
si suena a drag on ‘ como de arrastrar! nice!
Very funny sounding word! I always dragoon my friends and siblings to watch or read something with me hahahahaha.
