Proposition assumed to be self-evident (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axiom

'proposition assumed to be self-evident' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for axiom that I've seen before include "Generally accepted principle" , "that's self-evident" , "Self-evident principle" , "Accepted general truth or principle" , "Obviously true statement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
