State without proof (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allege

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">state without proof</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for allege that I've seen before include "Accuse without established proof" , "Aver (without proof)" , "Declare without being able to prove" , "Claim (a person is guilty)" , "Declare or accuse without proof" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror and The Irish Times.
