Taking to be the case (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assuming

'taking to be the case' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for assuming that I've seen before include "Taking to be the case" , "Taking for granted" , "Presupposing" , "Based on the supposition" , "Accepting something without proof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
