Crossword Genius

Bore gave way under pressure (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yielded

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'gave way under pressure' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for yielded that I've seen before include "resigned" , "Produced, provided" , "was paid" , "Ceded" , "Produced; surrendered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
