Put up with varied role in gallery (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tolerate

'put up with' is the definition.
('tolerate' can be a synonym of 'put up with')

'varied role in gallery' is the wordplay.
'varied' indicates an anagram.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gallery' becomes 'tate' (I've seen this before).
'role' is an anagram of 'oler'.
'oler' inserted inside 'tate' is 'TOLERATE'.

(Other definitions for tolerate that I've seen before include "Put up with, permit without protest" , "Put up with something or somebody" , "Be indulgent" , "Family relative" , "Allow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
