Self-evidently true statement (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axiom

'self-evidently true statement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for axiom that I've seen before include "Plainly true proposition" , "It's taken for granted" , "Principle; assumption" , "Proposition assumed to be self-evident" , "Accepted statement taken as self-evidently true" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
