Say 'Florida', possibly? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

state

This clue is a double definition.

'say' is the first definition.
('state' can be a synonym of 'say')

'florida possibly?' is the second definition.
(florida is a kind of state)

(Other definitions for state that I've seen before include "eg Rhode Island" , "Declare: condition" , "Claim" , "A test (anag.)" , "eg Iowa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
