One member bearing harm (6)

I believe the answer is:

impair

'harm' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'one member bearing' is the wordplay.
'one member' becomes 'imp' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bearing' becomes 'air' (I've seen this before).
'imp'+'air'='IMPAIR'

(Other definitions for impair that I've seen before include "Make worse or less effective" , "Spoil, degrade" , "Hurt or handicap" , "Weaken, damage" , "Harm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
