Self-evident truth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axiom

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">self-evident truth</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for axiom that I've seen before include "Universal principle" , "Fundamental proposition" , "Universally accepted proposition" , "It's taken for granted" , "Statement regarded as self-evidently true" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Times, The Telegraph, the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
