Person who bears discomfort without complaint (5)

I believe the answer is:

stoic

(Other definitions for stoic that I've seen before include "Solemn ceremony" , "Person indifferent to pleasure or pain" , "Seeming unaffected by pleasure or pain" , "Someone seemingly indifferent to pleasure or pain" , "Phlegmatic type" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
