__ one's time (be patient) (4)

I believe the answer is:

bide

(Other definitions for bide that I've seen before include "Stay (obs.)" , "To - one's time is to wait for the right opportunity" , "Dwell, of old" , "Remain or stay (poetically)" , "Tarry" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Newsday.
