Order eggs flipped, showing affirmation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avowal

'affirmation' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'order eggs flipped' is the wordplay.
'order' becomes 'law'.
'eggs' becomes 'ova' (I've seen this before).
'flipped' is a reversal indicator.
'law'+'ova'='lawova'
'lawova' reversed gives 'AVOWAL'.

'showing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for avowal that I've seen before include "clear pronouncement" , "Open assertation" , "Statement" , "Affirmation" , "Positive declaration" .)
