Bears, tolerates (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endures

I believe this is a double definition.

'bears' is the first definition.
(to bear something is to endure or tolerate it)

'tolerates' is the second definition.
('endure' can be a synonym of 'tolerate')

(Other definitions for endures that I've seen before include "Suffers or lasts" , "Bears" , "Ensured (anag.)" , "Tolerates" , "Lasts or puts up with" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
