Await; assume (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

expect

I believe this is a double definition.

'await' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'assume' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for expect that I've seen before include "Hope - await" , "Confidently hope" , "Be waiting for" , "Anticipate - rely upon - suppose" , "Look forward to or consider probable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
