Propose; imply (7)
I believe the answer is:
suggest
I believe this is a double definition.
'propose' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'imply' is the second definition.
(suggesting is a kind of implying)
(Other definitions for suggest that I've seen before include "Give an impression of" , "Propose; imply" , "Put forward for consideration" , "Insinuate" , "Island off Java" .)
