Proposed explanation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theory

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for theory that I've seen before include "The presumption" , "Speculative view" , "Set of ideas formulated to explain something" , "Scientific conjecture" , "Assumption" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday.com and The Times.
