adjective

不当に得られた

Wrongfully obtained.

Examples :

"You are right! "Extort" is a verb, not an adjective. My apologies. Here's a sentence using it correctly as a verb: "The bully tried to extort lunch money from the younger students by threatening them." "

おっしゃる通り！「不当に得られた」は形容詞ではなく動詞です。申し訳ありません。動詞として正しく使用している文はこちらです：「いじめっ子」は、若い生徒たちを脅迫して昼食代をゆすり取ろうとした。
