Crossword Genius

Good to tolerate a constellation (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

great bear

'a constellation' is the definition.
(Great Bear is an example)

'good to tolerate' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'great' (similar in meaning).
'to tolerate' becomes 'bear' (synonyms).
'great'+'bear'='GREAT BEAR'

(Other definitions for great bear that I've seen before include "Large animal - same as 7" , "Ursa Major" , "'Large ursine in the heavens (5,4)'" , "star group" , "Plough constellation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
