polar

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

This might be a double definition.

'cold' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'bearish?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
