Unspoken agreement a citizen conceals (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tacit

'unspoken' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'agreement a citizen conceals' is the wordplay.
'conceals' indicates a hidden word.
'TACIT' can be found hidden inside 'agreement a citizen'.

(Other definitions for tacit that I've seen before include "Wordless" , "Not said though understood" , "Implicit, unspoken" , "Implied, not spoken" , "Unspoken but understood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
