Assume (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5

4,3,7

'assume' is the definition.
(I know that assume can be written as adopt)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for adopt that I've seen before include "Formally approve" , "choose as candidate" , "Take responsibility for" , "Accept as one's own" , "Start to wear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, the Penny Press and The Guardian.
