Unstated but understood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tacit

(Other definitions for tacit that I've seen before include "Not said though understood" , "Implicit, unspoken" , "Respect, admiration" , "Understood without being directly expressed" , "Implied -- inferred" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
