Bear stall (5)
I believe the answer is:
stand
I believe this is a double definition.
'bear' is the first definition.
(bear can mean to stand or endure)
'stall' is the second definition.
(I know that stall can be written as stand)
(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "Platform; attitude" , "Remain upright" , "Raised platform; tolerate" , "Remain stationary" , "remain in force" .)
