Declare condition (5)
I believe the answer is:
state
I believe this is a double definition.
'declare' is the first definition.
(I know that declare is a more specific form of the action state)
'condition' is the second definition.
(the state something is in)
(Other definitions for state that I've seen before include "Say; condition" , "Declare - political unit" , "For example, New York or Washington but not Boston or Philadelphia" , "Condition; nation" , "Speak" .)
