Bear brings death to Yorkshire river (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endure

'bear' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'death to yorkshire river' is the wordplay.
'death' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'to yorkshire river' becomes 'ure' (river in Yorkshire).
'end'+'ure'='ENDURE'

'brings' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for endure that I've seen before include "Undergo hardship patiently" , "Remain in existence; suffer" , "Abide" , "Last or tolerate" , "brook" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
