Put forward as fact or as a basis for argument (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

posited

'put forward as fact or as a basis for argument' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for posited that I've seen before include "Topside (anag.)" , "Suggested" , "Assumed" , "Advanced" , "Proposed as basis for argument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
