Hypothesize (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

posit

'hypothesize' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for posit that I've seen before include "Suppose" , "Put forward as true" , "Put forward as basis for discussion" , "given proposition" , "Assume as a fact or principle" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The New York Times, the Penny Press and the LA Times.
