Await; assume (6)
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" .)
