Swear, assert (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aver

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'swear' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'assert' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for aver that I've seen before include "Maintain - assert - allege" , "State; say" , "make a statement" , "Say firmly, declare" , "'Affirm, assert (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
