Puts up with, or in deep shock (6)

I believe the answer is:

stupor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'deep shock' is the definition.
'stupor' can be an answer for 'shock' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'deep' bit.

'puts up with or' is the wordplay.
'up with' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'puts' mixed up with 'or' gives 'STUPOR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stupor that I've seen before include "Semi-conscious state" , "Inertia results!" , "State of insensibility or near-unconsciousness" , "Almost unconscious state" , "Almost unconscious condition caused by drink or drugs" .)
