Underlying assumption (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

premise

'underlying assumption' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for premise that I've seen before include "Hypothesis" , "Statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn" , "Statement on which reasoning is based" , "Underlying assumption" , "argument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
