Assertion, contention (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

claim

I believe this is a double definition.

'assertion' is the first definition.
(I know that claim is a type of assertion)

'contention' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for claim that I've seen before include "Take" , "Right; demand this" , "Cause the loss of (a life)" , "Assertion; demand" , "Allegation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
