Bear arriving in Cyprus (5)
I believe the answer is:
carry
'bear' is the definition.
('carry' can be a synonym of 'bear')
'arriving in cyprus' is the wordplay.
'arriving' becomes 'arr' (abbreviation used in transport).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cyprus' becomes 'cy' (abbreviation).
'arr' going inside 'cy' is 'CARRY'.
(Other definitions for carry that I've seen before include "Have on one's person" , "Transport, fetch" , "range" , "Bring" , "Be pregnant (with)" .)
