Bore stopped going round university? Right! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endured

'bore' is the definition.
(bear can mean to endure)

'stopped going round university? right' is the wordplay.
'stopped' becomes 'ended' ('end' can be a synonym of 'stop').
'going round' is an insertion indicator (some letters go around others).
'university?' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'u'+'r'='ur'
'ended' going around 'ur' is 'ENDURED'.

(Other definitions for endured that I've seen before include "Patiently suffered" , "Bore; put up with" , "Borne" , "Withstood" , "Put up with something" .)
