Ross

I believe the answer is:

postulate

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

'hypothesis' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'delay writing on internet about university's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is located in the answer.
'internet' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'university' could be 'u' (abbreviation for university) and 'u' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postulate that I've seen before include "Assume as axiom" , "Put forward" , "Take for granted or lay down as self-evident" , "Suppose" , "Let sap out in order to claim something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
