Put forth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exert

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for exert that I've seen before include "Bring (force) to bear" , "Bring into use, apply" , "Expend" , "Strain" , "Work strenuously" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Universal, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the LA Times, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
