Generally accepted proposition (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axiom

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">generally accepted proposition</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for axiom that I've seen before include "Maxim - truism" , "Proposition assumed to be self-evident" , "that's self-evident" , "Principle; assumption" , "Obviously true statement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
