Bear up? (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

cope

ursa

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ursa that I've seen before include "'Major and Minor, constellations (4)'" , "(In the sky) Major or Minor" , "(and 11 across) Pole Star constellation" , "Major/Minor constellation" , "Latin for the Great Bear, . . . . Major" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
