Give way to bear (5)
I believe the answer is:
yield
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'give way to' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'bear' is the second definition.
('yield' can be a synonym of 'bear')
(Other definitions for yield that I've seen before include "Stop defending" , "bow" , "Profit" , "Proceeds" , "Cede, give way" .)
