Suppose - without any hard evidence (6)

I believe the answer is:

assume

(Other definitions for assume that I've seen before include "Take to be the case" , "Suppose - appropriate - feign - adopt" , "Accept as true without proof" , "Believe" , "Take (responsibility)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
