Cane under trial for lasting quality (9)

I believe the answer is:

endurance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for lasting quality' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cane under trial' is the wordplay.
'cane under' can be anagrammed to 'ENDURANCE'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for endurance that I've seen before include "ability to survive" , "Shackleton took to the Antarctic" , "Bearing" , "Tenacity" , "Staying power" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
