Declares (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avers

'declares' is the definition.
(averring is a kind of declaring)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for avers that I've seen before include "Swears" , "States to be true" , "States positively" , "Alleges, asserts" , "States firmly - really raves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal, the USA Today and The New York Times.
