Bear left at backwards New York borough (8)
I believe the answer is:
brooklyn
'new york borough' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bear left at backwards' is the wordplay.
'bear' becomes 'brook' (both can mean to tolerate or endure).
'left at backwards' becomes 'lyn' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'brook'+'lyn'='BROOKLYN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brooklyn that I've seen before include "NYC borough, book and film" , "New York area" , "New York City borough" , "Big Apple borough" , "part of Long Island?" .)
