Might but don't suffer in silence (4)
I believe the answer is:
beef
'might' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beef that I've seen before include "Strength - grievance" , "Meat - complaint" , "Bovine flesh" , "joint, perhaps" , "Complain; meat" .)
