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 aver that I've seen before include "Firmly maintain" , "State firmly - even rave about" , "make a statement" , "Declare to be the case" , "being assertive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
