Bear load that could be delightful (8)
I believe the answer is:
adorable
'delightful' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bear load that could be' is the wordplay.
'that could be' indicates an anagram.
'bear'+'load'='bearload'
'bearload' with letters rearranged gives 'ADORABLE'.
(Other definitions for adorable that I've seen before include "Lovely and attractive" , "worthy of love" , "Broad lea (anag.)" , "Quite delightful, fit to be worshipped" , "Worthy of worship" .)
