GRAMMAR
る・動詞・辞書形（受身形）
to be made to do ~ (passive causative)
Explanation
NOTE
The passive causative form combines the causative and passive to express being made to do something. The subject did not want to do it but was forced by someone else.
NOTE
For る-verbs, take the causative form (させる) and make it passive: drop る and add られる. So たべる → たべさせる → たべさせられる (to be made to eat).
