The agreement is forwarded (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the agreement' is the definition.
(assent is a kind of agreement)

'forwarded' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'forwarded' could be 'sent' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'sent' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'as' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for assent that I've seen before include "Give consent" , "Say yes" , "Consent or approval" , "Acquiesce, comply" , "Expression of agreement" .)
