It's a fact! (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

datum

truth

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">it's a fact</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(truth is a kind of fact)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for truth that I've seen before include "Gospel" , "Candour" , "Verity" , "Belief accepted as correct" , "Beauty is (said Keats)" .)

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