claiming
Stating as true
Claiming is the present participle of claim, used when someone asserts ownership, rights, or the truth of something.
You might be claiming your luggage at baggage claim or claiming victory before all the votes are counted.
In horse racing, a claiming race is one where all horses are available for purchase at a set price, and claiming a horse means buying it out of such a race.
The word often carries a whiff of skepticism—if someone is merely claiming something, the implication is that proof hasn't yet arrived.
