Bear necessity? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

den

'bear necessity?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for den that I've seen before include "Home of the beast" , "Miserable place" , "Gentleman's study or animal's lair" , "Hidden lair of an animal" , "Animal shelter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and The New York Times.
