Stated assertively (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insisted

'stated assertively' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for insisted that I've seen before include "Stated positively and assertively" , "Maintained firmly" , "... repeated" , "Demanded firmly" , "Declared emphatically about tidiness" .)

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