Assume to be true (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

posit

'assume to be true' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for posit that I've seen before include "Suppose" , "state" , "Put forward; place" , "Suggest" , "Assume as fact for argument's sake" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday and the Universal.
