Hi Ludmila, in the given context the verb thrust means to push. Your question should read: "Hello, could you please explain what the word thrust means." or "Hello, what does the word thrust mean?"
Also, if you are interested in the meaning of individual words a dictionary might a great place to start.

Hi Kati,

'Thrust' is one of those verbs like put/cut//set and so on that remain the same in the past and present forms.

Hello ,

Many thanks. Thrushed is a typo unfortunately, presumably I would have written "thrusted" because but I didn't know it has three identical forms:
thrust,thrust,thrust
Thanks again:
