Affirmation, declaration (9)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

6

9

assertion

I believe this is a double definition.

'affirmation' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'declaration' is the second definition.
(assertion is a kind of declaration)

(Other definitions for assertion that I've seen before include "Claim" , "Notarises (anag)" , "Emphatic declaration" , "Confident statement of fact" , "Confident declaration" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
