Figure the mob rush out to see (7)

I believe the answer is:

rhombus

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

'figure' is the definition.
(rhombus is a kind of figure)

'mob rush out to see' is the wordplay.
'mob rush' anagrams to 'RHOMBUS'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhombus that I've seen before include "Special case of parallelogram" , "Diamond-shaped figure" , "Type of quadrilateral" , "4-sided figure" , "Skewed square" .)

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