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 King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the Newsday, the Penny Press and the USA Today.
