Assert without proof (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allege

'assert without proof' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for allege that I've seen before include "Claim, suggest" , "Declare without being able to prove" , "Swear" , "Aver - maintain" , "State as a fact without proof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun.
