Basic truth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axiom

'basic truth' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for axiom that I've seen before include "It's taken for granted" , "Truth assumed to be self-evident" , "fundamental principle" , "Plainly true proposition" , "Truism - proverb" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
