Bore stopped touring old city (7)
I believe the answer is:
endured
'bore' is the definition.
(bear can mean to endure)
'stopped touring old city' is the wordplay.
'stopped' becomes 'ended' ('end' can be a synonym of 'stop').
'touring' means one lot of letters goes inside another (tour can mean to go around).
'old city' becomes 'ur' (ancient city state).
'ended' placed around 'ur' is 'ENDURED'.
(Other definitions for endured that I've seen before include "Bore; put up with" , "Carried on" , "Borne" , "Red nude (anag.)" , "Patiently suffered" .)
