Bear in Kazakhstan desert (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand

'bear' is the definition.
(I know that bear can be written as stand)

'in kazakhstan desert' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'STAND' can be found hidden inside 'kazakhstan desert'.

(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "Support" , "Watch and do nothing to help" , "station" , "Be likely to rise" , "Be upright; base" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
