Push sleuth around (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hustle

'push' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sleuth around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'sleuth' with letters rearranged gives 'HUSTLE'.

(Other definitions for hustle that I've seen before include "Put pressure on - sleuth (anag)" , "Move furtively - earn forcefully" , "Frenzied activity" , "confidence trick" , "Push around - deal dishonestly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
