Feeling of conviction (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surety

(Other definitions for surety that I've seen before include "Legal safeguard against loss" , "Safeguard; certainty" , "One who takes responsibility for another's debts" , "Money given as guarantee of action" , "It's given as a guarantee that an obligation will be met" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
