State openly (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

avow

aver

'state openly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for avow that I've seen before include "acknowledge" , "Solemnly declare" , "Strongly maintain" , "Assert - admit" , "Admit openly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
