Word that can precede SSC and follow pelvic (6)

I believe the answer is:

thrust

(Other definitions for thrust that I've seen before include "Push powerfully; stab" , "Drive sharply forward" , "Push forward as with sword or spear" , "Force used in pushing" , "Sudden lunge or attack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
