Falsely adopted (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assumed

'falsely adopted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for assumed that I've seen before include "Falsely adopted" , "Took to be the case" , "False" , "Took upon oneself" , "Taken as true; adopted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
