Telling maxim (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saying

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'telling' is the first definition.
('say' can be a synonym of 'tell')

'maxim' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for saying that I've seen before include "Speaking; twenty-two Ac" , "talking!" , "Well-known phrase or proverb - just speaking" , "Epigram" , "Apophthegm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
