Declare forcefully (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assert

(Other definitions for assert that I've seen before include "Declare, profees" , "State firmly, aver" , "Declare, state vigorously" , "Swear" , "State firmly or vigorously" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and The Washington Post.
