Implicitly understood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tacit

'implicitly understood' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tacit that I've seen before include "Implicit, unspoken" , "Understood without being put into words" , "Not said though understood" , "Implied -- inferred" , "Aircraft engine casing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post Sunday, The Times, The Guardian, the Universal, The Sun and the USA Today.
