Shove the French behind new huts (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hustle

'shove' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the french behind new huts' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'behind' says to put letters next to each other.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'huts' anagrammed gives 'hust'.
'le' after 'hust' is 'HUSTLE'.

(Other definitions for hustle that I've seen before include "Put pressure on - sleuth (anag)" , "Jostle, sell aggressively" , "Deal with hurriedly" , "Jostle; hurry; swindle" , "Jostle, push around." .)
