Related to or characteristic of coercion; involving the use of force to make someone comply.
From coercion + -ary suffix (meaning 'relating to or characterized by'). Coercion comes from Latin coercio, and -ary is a Latin suffix forming adjectives. This word is quite rare and largely replaced by the more common 'coercive.'
Most English speakers would say 'coercive' instead of 'coercionary,' showing how languages naturally select one variant over similar alternatives. It's like how 'nuclear' won over 'nucleary'—speakers unconsciously prefer shorter, simpler forms.
