coercion /koʊˈɝʃən/ rhymes with exertion, insertion, assertion, and desertion, all pronounced with the stressed syllable /ɝʃən/. Note that coercion is spelled -cion, while these rhyming words typically end in -tion. Be careful with version /ˈvɝʒən/: it has the same stressed vowel but ends in /ʒən/ rather than /ʃən/, and the stress falls on the first syllable.
