Crossword Genius

Complete, say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

utter

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'complete' is the first definition.
(both can mean total)

'say' is the second definition.
(to utter something is to speak or say it)

(Other definitions for utter that I've seen before include "Antique offer for sale" , "Without a single qualification" , "Say; total" , "Pronounce - total" , "in toto" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun.
