Bore gave way (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yielded

I believe this is a double definition.

'bore' is the first definition.
('yield' can be a synonym of 'bear')

'gave way' is the second definition.
('yield' can be a synonym of 'give way')

(Other definitions for yielded that I've seen before include "Ceded" , "abandoned" , "Returned" , "Delivered" , "Produced; surrendered" .)

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