Folklore relayed as truth (urban, perhaps) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

myth

(Other definitions for myth that I've seen before include "false interpretation?" , "Wildly-held but false belief or idea" , "Traditional story not based on fact" , "Traditional allegory" , "Legend; fable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
