Self-evident statement (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axiom

'self-evident statement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for axiom that I've seen before include "It's taken for granted" , "Dictum" , "Accepted general truth or principle" , "Self-evident principle" , "fundamental principle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
