Run and shove, pocketing one pound on the way back (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

publish

'run' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'shove pocketing one pound on the way back' is the wordplay.
'shove' becomes 'push' (I've seen this before).
'pocketing' is an insertion indicator (pocket can mean to steal or take possession of).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'pound' becomes 'lb' (abbreviation for the unit of weight).
'on the way back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'i'+'lb'='ilb'
'ilb' written backwards gives 'bli'.
'push' enclosing 'bli' is 'PUBLISH'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for publish that I've seen before include "Damned if I do!" , "Get into print" , "Issue (a book/magazine)" , "Make generally known" , "Report" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
