Rushes about and puts you in your place (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ushers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'puts you in your place' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'rushes about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rushes' is an anagram of 'USHERS'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ushers that I've seen before include "Theatre attendants" , "They show attendees to seats" , "Escorts" , "Officials stationed at the entrances of courtrooms" , "Guides" .)

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